SC Seeks Viewpoints on Lokpal's Power to Investigate HC Judges

The Supreme Court Appointed Senior Advocate Ranjit Kumar as Amicus Curiae to Ensure All Perspectives Are Considered
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday underscored the need for a comprehensive legal examination and "different viewpoints" before ruling on whether the Lokpal has the authority to investigate complaints against sitting high court judges under the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013.
Extending its previous stay on the anti-corruption ombudsman's January 27 order that sought to assume the authority to act against the constitutional court judges, the apex court emphasized that it would only determine the jurisdictional issue within the contours of the Lokpal Act and constitutional provisions.
