The Apex Court is scheduled to hear on March 18 a suo motu proceeding in which it had stayed the Lokpal’s order on entertaining complaints against sitting High Court Judges.
A 3-Judge bench comprising Justices B R Gavai, Surya Kant, and Abhay S Oka is slated to hear the matter.
The Supreme Court is dealing with a suo motu proceeding initiated over the January 27 order passed by the Lokpal.
While hearing the matter on February 20, the SC stayed the Lokpal order, saying it was “something very, very disturbing” and concerned the independence of the judiciary.
The Supreme Court had issued notice and sought responses from the Centre, the Lokpal registrar and the person who filed complaints against a sitting High Court judge.
