Justice Markandey Katju, the former judge of the Supreme Court, has levelled grave allegations in his recent blog post and also given particulars of alleged incidents.
\n<\/p>\n
In the past, Justice Katju has been in the news for the allegation<\/a> that \u201c50% of the higher judiciary has become corrupt<\/em>\u201d. He has also claimed that he had got a dossier on Chief Justice of India HL Dattu\u2019s alleged properties and given it to then law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and others, but to no avail. \u201cI was targeted by former chief justice RM Lodha for my views. Let it all be investigated. SC judges are annoyed. But I am not bothered\u2026,<\/em>\u201d Katju was reported to have said. <\/p>\n The learned former Judge has also levelled allegations<\/a> against the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court (of which he was earlier acting Chief Justice) by asking whether “It is a High Court or a Joke?<\/em>” At that stage also, a serious allegation was made that an adjourned matter does not come up for hearing unless a “heavy bribe<\/em>” is paid to the concerned officials. <\/p>\n There has been another outburst from the learned former judge today. The provocation for the outburst is the recent judgement<\/a> of the division bench of Chief Justice H L Dattu and Justice Arun Mishra in which the petition of Sanjiv Bhatt for constituting a special investigation team (SIT) and making BJP President Amit Shah and others parties to his petition. Justice Katju went to make the following allegation on twitter and in his blog<\/a>:<\/p>\n Dattu has built a palatial house in Bangalore which must be costing 50 crores. Where did he get the money for this? pic.twitter.com\/BRQUaEpqoW<\/a><\/p>\n — Markandey Katju (@mkatju) October 14, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
