செயல்பாடுகள் உள்ளதாக அவர் கூறினார் .dinamalar.com New Delhi: Press Council of India Chairman and former Supreme Court judge Justice Markandey Katju has made shocking allegations of corruption in the judiciary. Katju has alleged that a District Judge in Tamil Nadu was elevated to an Additional Judge of the Madras High Court despite charges of corruption against him.இவரை இனி உற்று கவனிக்க வேண்டும் இவருக்கு அல்லது இவரின் நெருங்கியவர்களுக்கு ஏதாவது சலுகைகள்???
Katju has alleged that the tainted judge had been directly appointed as a District Judge in Tamil Nadu and during his career as the district judge, there were as many as eight adverse entries against him recorded by various portfolio judges of the Madras High Court.
Katju has alleged that one acting Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, by a single stroke of his pen, deleted all those adverse entries and consequently he became an Additional Judge of the High Court. He has said that the corrupt judge had solid support of a very important political leader of Tamil Nadu.
Katju has said that former CJI RC Lahoti made a compromise by allowing the corrupt judge to continue despite the adverse Intelligence Bureau report against him.
This was when the UPA was in power with the DMK, its ally, in power in Tamil Nadu. "This is a glaring example of political interference in the appointment of judges," Katju said.
Katju has also alleges that the former Chief Justices of India allowed the tainted judge to continue despite complaints against him.
Katju has said that as a judge was elevated to the High Court while being a District Judge, he had granted bail to that political leader.
Speaking to CNN-IBN, Katju said, "I got information when I was the Chief Justice of the Madras High Court about the corruption of this judge. I wanted the Chief Justice to do an IB inquiry. I got a call from the CJI that the chargers were correct. After this two-year term as Additional Judge, he should not have got extension."
When asked why he has come up with the allegations now, Katju said, "Better late than never. It is not important if I have disclosed this now. What is important is that the information is correct."
Reacting to the allegations, former Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan told CNN-IBN, "We can say so many things in hindsight without naming the judge and the political party. His (the judge in question) appointment was challenged and please read Justice Pasayat's judgement. If a judge faces charges of being close to the government, he has to be transferred out."
