‘Higher judiciary accountability maintained through in-house mechanisms’ | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Law minister Kiren Rijiju told Rajya Sabha on Thursday that the government keeps receiving complaints against judges, which are forwarded to the CJI as accountability in higher judiciary is maintained through “in-house mechanism” of the SC.
This came in a written response to a question by some members who referred to the minister’s statement that “some retired judges are part of an anti-India gang” and asked whether this had been brought to the notice of the CJI and the home ministry.
“From time to time, complaints are received in the department of justice against sitting as well as retired judges of the SC and HCs . The department of justice is concerned only with appointment and service conditions of the sitting judges of the SC and HCs. Accountability in higher judiciary is maintained through in-house mechanisms,” the minister said.
He reminded the members that as per the established mechanism, the CJI is competent to receive complaints against conduct of judges of the Supreme Court and chief justices of high courts. “Similarly, HC CJs are competent to receive complaints against the conduct of HC judges.
The complaints/representations received by the department of justice are forwarded to the CJI or to the chief justice of the HC concerned for appropriate action,” the minister added.
