Karnataka CJ Dinakaran attends court proceedings | The Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court PD Dinakaran attended court for the first time on
Monday after staying away from it for some days following a controversy related
to his allegedly acquiring property in illegal ways. On Saturday, the Advocate
General of Karnataka, Ashok Harnahalli urged Justice Dinakaran to sit on the Bench
and conduct the proceedings. Harnahalli, along with Additional Advocate-General
K.M. Nataraj and State Public Prosecutor Pravin called on the Chief Justice and
urged him to reconsider his decision. Justice Dinakaran has reportedly expressed
unwillingness to sit on the Bench following a resolution passed by the Advocates
Association of Bangalore asking him to refrain from attending or presiding over
judicial proceedings until he is cleared of the allegations levelled against him.
On the other hand Harnahalli opined that though it was the Bar's duty to bring
to the notice of the Chief Justice of India any complaint about a judge, no judge
could be publicly defamed on the basis of a representation. It was, therefore,
not correct on the part of the Bar to request Justice Dinakaran not to participate
in judicial proceedings. Justice Dinakaran is among one of the Judges who were
recently elevated to Supreme Curt by the Chief Justice of India. |
