SC dismisses Petition of Judges Bribery case

New Delhi Nov 15: The Supreme court dismissed a petition seeking a Special Investigation Team probe in the role of judges taking bribes in a medical college bribery case.

A three-judge Bench led by Justice R.K. Agrawal said that "the conduct of the petitioners in the past week were both unethical and unwarranted and amounted to forum-hunting."

The Judgement said that "Let good sense prevail over the legal fraternity and amends be made as a lot of uncalled-for damage has been made to the great institution in which the public repose their faith."

"We still expect and hope the matter will stop at this." Justice Mishra added.

Earlier there was a legal tussle between the CJI and the senior most judge over the two separate orders issued and the CJI has fired on Justice chalemeshwar and has said that CJI has the whole powers to constitute a bench.

He has also said that Fir on Judges cannot be lodged and there is a separate procedure for that.
