Government not to promote tainted judges: Moily
 

New Delhi, Jan 31: The government is contemplating a law to ensure that a judge facing even slightest suspicion of corruption, judicial misconduct or impropriety ends up forfeiting chances of elevation to the higher courts, Law minister M. Veerappa Moily said on Sunday. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a seminar on need to strengthen laws to fight cyber crime, Moily said the government is all set to introduce bills to ensure judges' accountability and 33 percent reservation for women in parliament and state legislatures. “With the help of the bill on judges accountability, we will ensure no tainted judge gets promoted,” said Moily, adding: “Even the slightest needle of suspicion will stall their promotion.” The government’s move comes in the wake of controversy involving Karnataka High Court Chief Justice P.D. Dinakaran’s elevation to the apex court that had to be stopped due to allegations of corruption and judicial misconduct. (IANS)
