SUB-COMMITTEE ON JUDICIAL ACCOUNTABILITY vs UNION OF INDIA AND ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed a Writ Petition concerning the validity of the Speaker of the Lok Sabha's action in admitting a notice under Article 124(5) of the Constitution of India, 1950, related to allegations of misconduct against a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court. The Court emphasized the need for an expeditious hearing of the main matter and connected writ petitions, scheduling them for July 9, 1991, while refraining from issuing interlocutory relief at this stage. The Court's decision underscores the importance of maintaining public confidence in the judiciary during such inquiries.
