Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the petitions seeking an inquiry into the death of Judge Brijgopal Harikishan Loya, who died under suspicious circumstances while presiding over a high-profile case. The Court emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in judicial processes, particularly in cases involving judicial officers. It held that the lack of a proper inquiry into Loya's death raised serious concerns about the integrity of the judicial system, thereby warranting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his demise.
