Union Law and Justice Minister M Veerappa Moily on Monday said he would introduce a Bill in the next session of Parliament in line with the UPA government’s commitment to usher in judicial reforms and introduce transparency in the judiciary in the country.
“We are working on a new draft Judges (Inquiry) Bill. It will be a new Bill and not merely a copy of the old one. We are taking care to include clauses that would ensure more accountability of judges of the Supreme Court as well as the High Courts apart from every aspect of good governance within the judiciary,” he told The Indian Express in an interview.
The proposed Inquiry Bill will lay down procedures to take action against members of the higher judiciary for misconduct.
“The present Judges Inquiry Act, 1968, deals solely with impeachment procedures. It does not deal with other cases of complaints against judges,” the Law Minister said.
