The Supreme Court addressed the petition against the order of the Committee constituted under Section 3(2) of the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, which rejected the petitioner's request for documents related to allegations of misbehaviour. The Court emphasized the importance of due process in inquiries against judges, particularly under Article 217 and Article 124(4) of the Constitution of India. The holding affirmed the Committee's jurisdiction to proceed with the inquiry while ensuring the petitioner’s rights are protected.
