Supreme Court to review Lokpal's order on judges

hindustantimes.com

The Supreme Court will hear a case on March 18 regarding a Lokpal order that allowed complaints against sitting high court judges. The court previously stayed this order, citing concerns about judicial independence. The Lokpal's January 27 order involved complaints against a high court judge accused of influencing other judges. The Supreme Court has instructed the complainant to keep the judge's name confidential. The Lokpal had referred the complaints to the Chief Justice of India for consideration, stating that high court judges fall under the Lokpal Act. The Supreme Court's upcoming hearing will address these issues.
