Vice President on delay in FIR in Judge cash row


New Delhi:

Vice President Jagdeep Dhikar participated in length to find cash in the premises of Justice Yashwant Verma, Judge of the High Court of Delhi, insisted on a police investigation and trusted the Supreme Court’s decision that pre -approval was needed to prosecute the High Court and Supreme Court judges.

Speaking at a book release function, he said that the steps of the three-judge in-house committee investigated the case as a “serious issue” from witnesses to the case of recovering from witnesses and questioned how it could be done.

“The whole nation was worried. An incident occurred on the night intervening on March 14 and 15. A nation of 1.4 billion did not know about it. After a week. Just imagine that there can be many other incidents that we know … every such crime of integrity affects the common man, who believes in the law of law.

The Vice President said that people were questioning the criminal justice system “how it was not operated because it would have been done for every other person”. Only the Presidents and Governors of India are exempted from a police investigation, he said, and that too only when they take over.

He said, “This issue for which people are bound breath, money trail, its source, its purpose … Are these judicial systems polluting? Who are the big sharks? We need to find out. Two months have already passed.”

The Supreme Court, he said, what can be done under the Chief Justice of India Sanjeev Khanna. But this is a “heritage issue” of the decisions provided in the 1990s and “is now time to take calls”.

A unabashed case was found from a store-room near the gate of Delhi High Court bungalow Justice Yashwant Verma in March. Money was found by firefighters to make an explosion during the court’s Holi break.

Subsequently, the Supreme Court Collegium decided to transfer Justice Verma back to its original court -Allahabad High Court. Justice Khanna has not resigned by the judge, despite taking a slow view of the case.

Shri Dhankar insisted that there is a need to re-look at the 1991 Supreme Court’s decision in the case of Veeraswamy vs India Union, which established the mechanism for in-house investigation. The decision provides covers and immunity to judges, but it can become an obligation for the judiciary, in cases like justice Verma and destroys people’s trust in the law.

Emphasizing the importance of rule of law in democracy – “very foundation of society” – The Vice President said that “the safest way to impure a person or bring down an institution is to keep it away from investigation, keep it away from investigation”.

To nurture democracy, “It is unavoidable to hold every institution and every person accountable,” he said.
