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 despite objections raised regarding his prior legal opinion to the petitioner. The Court ultimately dismissed the petition, affirming the legitimacy of the Committee's composition and proceedings.
