A former woman-judge of Karnataka High Court pays Rs. 8.8 cr. Bribe to obtain Governor’ posting

Adv. Amrutesh NP of Hindu Vidhidnya Parishad lodges complaing against the judge

If the judge herself confessed that she paid a bribe of Rs. 8.8 crore to seek the post of the Governor, it would create doubts about how this judge must have worked during her tenure. An inquiry should be held against the judge to preserve the trust of the public in judiciary. The inquiry should find out whether the judge passed her verdicts by accepting bribes or with clean hands. Her pension should be stopped till the facts come out of the inquiry.

Advocate of Hindu Legislative Council Amrutesh N.P.

The advocate, wants the CCB police to consider the judge as an accused in the case. He has alleged in the complaint that the judge had encouraged corruption by paying a bribe to Yuvaraj.

Adv. Amrutesh NP said in his compliant –

1.  “It is clear from her statement that she had bribed accused Yuvaraj to get the post through the backdoor, despite having knowledge of constitutional procedures and how governors are appointed.
2. Only after Yuvaraj was arrested did the retired judge send her statement to the Wilson Garden police station, fearing that her paying a bribe to him will also come out,” Amruthesh alleged. It was surprising that the police had registered an FIR based only on her statement, he added.
3. “As a former High Court judge, she is bound to uphold the honour of the judicial system. She is also bound to inform the court about such incidents, though she has retired. But she has failed to do so. Hence, she should be considered an accused along with Yuvaraj in the case, and legal action should be initiated,” he stated in the complaint.
