Running Out.

about how honest IAS officers are harrassed
and shunted from one posting to another ...
now if judicial officers also meet similiar
fate, imagine where is our country heading).
Dismissed judges's wife
moves SC
New
Delhi: The wiife of a dismissed
state judge, who died shortly after his
forced exit from the judiciary, moved the
apex court on Monday questioning the manner
in which he was given the pink slip.
A bench
comprising chief justice K G Balakrisnan and
justice R V Raveendran issued notice to the
state government on the petition filed by
Meena Vinod Prakash Singh wife of additional
sessions judge V C Singh.
The judge was
suspended on January 20,2006, pending enquiry
for disciplinary proceedings. He was
dismissed from service on October 31, 2006 despite
the disciplinary committee of the Bombay High
Court disagreeing with the findings of the of
the inquiry and its recommendations, the
widow's counsel Ranjit Kumar argued.
He said the
judge was innocent and there was not a single
charge of corruption against him during his
entire carreer as a judicial officer, the
judge was shocked and died a fortnight after
receiving the order.
Kumar said the
widow was attempting to wipe the stigma
attached to the name of her late husband, who
was a upright judicial officer.
