Medical college Bribery Scam: Supreme Court rejects plea for SIT probe into alleged judicial corruption
Advertisement
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition seeking Special Investigation Team probe into an alleged case of bribery in the name of judges, saying such a plea has raised unnecessary doubts over the integrity of judges.
The apex court rejected the petition filed by lawyer Kamini Jaiswal, making it clear that the Central Bureau of Investigation's FIR was not against any judge and neither was it possible to lodge such a complaint against a judge.
However, it did not issue contempt notice against Jaiswal
A bench of Justices R.K. Agrawal, Arun Mishra and A.M. Khanwilkar also deprecated attempts made for recusal of one of the judges in the matter saying it was not proper and tantamounted to “forum shopping.”
"We are on propriety. Can two similar worded petitions, one filed by 'Campaign for Judicial Accountability' and the other advocate Kamini Jaiswal, also a member of the same organisation, be filed? We are serious about this, as it is forum shopping because you wanted the petition to be listed before court number 2," the bench was seen stating earlier.
