magistrate being investigated

[bundlecod]

after refusing to hear case of veiled woman

Seems to me that he is not being investigated because he refused to hear the case, but because he left the bench without giving his reasons.

Or have I misread the report?

Did I read right? He just stood up and walked out and then came up with the 'issues of identity' later?

Ignorant. Rude. Lack of courtesy. Nobody can tell me there was no way that he could have been satisfied of her identity!
