Thursday, May 10, 2012: Supreme Court has asked competent authority of Centre to look into allegation of misconduct against former CJI K G Balakrishnan.
SC has also refused to direct Centre for presidential reference against Balakrishnan saying it needs to be decided by the President on advice of Council of Ministers.
The apex court bench headed by Justices B.S. Chauhan and J.S. Khehar issued directions to the government citing the “peculiar sets and circumstances” of the case.
Pronouncing the judgement, Justice Khehar said if the government found that the allegation against the former chief justice of India was unworthy of being proceeded against then it would inform the petitioner, NGO Common Cause, accordingly.
