New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha was adjourned till noon on today after disturbance was created over former Supreme Court Judge Justice Markandey Katju’s allegations of corruption in judiciary during the UPA rule.
Katju has alleged that the tainted judge had been directly appointed as a district judge in Tamil Nadu, and that during his time in that position, had acquired as many as eight adverse entries against him recorded by various portfolio judges of the Madras High Court.
He also said that he had requested Justice Lahoti for a secret IB investigation against the additional judge. The report corroborated my knowledge and as one ally of Congress was backing this, they objected to his removal, Katju said.
