Senior advocate Prashant Bhushan on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to institute an in-house judicial enquiry against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra to probe allegations of misconduct against the latter.
In a letter addressed to the four senio-rmost SC judges days after they called a Press conference accusing the CJI of arbitrarily allocating work to colleagues, Bhushan, convener of Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reforms’ (CJAR), said The CJI should have resigned over the allegations.
Among others, Bhushan’s NGO wants CJI Misra’s handling of a controversial medical college scam to be probed.
Bhushan claimed that there was enough prima facie evidence in the medical college scam case to establish that bribes were paid by the management to influence the case.
