HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY vs UDAYSINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the disciplinary action against a Civil Judge for alleged corruption under the provisions of judicial conduct. The Court held that the High Court's decision to disagree with the Enquiry Officer's findings was justified, as the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the judge's culpability in demanding illegal gratification, thereby violating the principles of judicial integrity. The Court upheld the High Court's directive for penal action against the respondent to maintain judicial discipline.
