Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a petition under Article 32 challenging the validity of the proceedings conducted by a Committee constituted under Section 3(2) of the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968. The Court held that the inclusion of respondent No.3 in the Committee did not violate principles of natural justice, as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha had the authority to appoint members. The petition was dismissed, affirming the legitimacy of the Committee's formation and proceedings.
