Govt will not like any 'tainted' person becoming a judge: Moily |
Union Law Minister today said that the Government intends to come out with a comprehensive
bill to deal with complaints of corruption against judges, and added that the
procedure of appointment of judges to higher judiciary will be given a fresh look.
The Law Minister said on Wednesday that the Government would not like to see that
any 'tainted' person becoming a judge. However, Moliy refused to be drawn into
a discussion on Karnataka Chief Justice P D Dinakaran elevation to the Supreme
Court, which has been kept in abeyance over allegations of land grabbing. "Already
there is a memorandum of procedure (on appointment of judges) which we are going
by as of today. I am not reiterating that the same thing will continue. May be,
we have to revisit the procedure. Whatever we do, we need to take the judiciary
into full confidence," he said. Moily said the independence of judiciary without
accountability has no meaning, no significance and there was need to resurrect
its credibility. |
