Indira Jaising vs Registrar General,Supreme Court Of ...

The Supreme Court held that the inquiry report regarding allegations against sitting Judges of the High Court of Karnataka cannot be made public due to the absence of adequate mechanisms for enforcing the Code of Conduct for Judges. The Court emphasized that disciplinary proceedings for Judges are governed by Articles 124 and 217 of the Constitution and the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, which do not provide for public disclosure of inquiry reports. The petition for publication of the report was dismissed, reinforcing the need for confidentiality in judicial inquiries to protect the integrity of the judiciary.
