24 Sep 2008, 0347 hrs IST, Dhananjay Mahapatra,TNN |
NEW DELHI: A "willing" CBI was tasked on Monday by the Supreme Court to pinpoint the "black sheep" from among 35 sitting judges — one in SC, 11 in HCs and 23 in district courts — suspected to have played a role in the fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 23 crore from the provident fund accounts of class IV court employees in the Ghaziabad judiciary. The urgency to weed out the corrupt from judiciary was evident from the detailed order passed by a Bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat, V S Sirpurkar and G S Singhvi, which set a three-month deadline for CBI to file its first status report on the investigation not only into the scam but also all dealings relating to it. |
