SC stays Lokpal order to entertain complaints against HC judge
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the Lokpal order entertaining complaints against a sitting high court judge, terming it "something very, very disturbing" and concerning the independence of the judiciary.
A special bench headed by Justice B R Gavai issued notice and sought responses from the Centre, the Lokpal registrar and the person who has filed complaints against the sitting high court judge.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, said a high court judge would never fall within the ambit of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013.
