Probe Chief Justice role in Medical college scam " Prashant Bhushan

Noted Supreme court lawyer and social rights activist and convener of the Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reforms, Prashant Bhushan filed a complaint against the Chief Justice of India, Dipak Mishra in the Medical college scam. The complaint calls for an inquiry against the chief justice for what Bhushan calls “various allegations of misconduct”.

CJI an interested party-hence cannot have dismissed his own case

The Central Bureau of Investigation’s First Information Report makes allegations that the entire conspiracy and planning was to bribe and influence apex court judges who are dealing with the Prasad medical trust case. “The bench was clearly headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra. In these circumstances, he was an interested party and could not have dealt with this case either on the judicial side or the administrative side.”

Bhushan added that though there was no conclusive evidence of Misra’s involvement in the scam, there is an urgent need to clear his name by ordering a thorough enquiry as it will otherwise tarnish the reputation of the judiciary.
