Zero transparency in judges appointment - Retd Justice Hariparanthaman | Delhi Judge scandal

The heaps of cash found at the residence of Delhi High Court judge Yashwant Verma are getting murkier by the day and are turning out to be part of one of the biggest scandals in the history of the Indian judiciary. Although the Supreme Court Chief Justice of India has initiated an inquiry into it, the legal fraternity is skeptical about the outcome of the probe. This incident has raised serious questions and concerns about our judicial system, including how judges are being appointed and whether they will ever face punishment for indulging in corrupt practices. In this week’s episode of In Public Interest, TNM’s Shabbir Ahmed sits down with D Hariparanthaman, former judge of the Madras High Court, to discuss the various issues that are plaguing the Indian judiciary.
