The Supreme Court on Thursday questioned Sikkim High Court Chief Justice P.D. Dinakaran for seeking recusal of one of the members in Rajya Sabha-appointed panel, probing charges of judicial misconduct and corruption against him, 14 months after it was constituted.
“You could have raised the objection in January 2010 when the panel was formed or later. We are not dealing with a person of ordinary mind. He is a legally trained mind,” a vacation bench headed by Justice G. S. Singhvi said.
Justice Dinakaran, 61, pleaded that one of the three members of the committee, senior advocate P.P. Rao, should be recused as he had campaigned against his elevation to the Supreme Court which was later put on hold.
He said there is “reasonable” apprehension of bias against him with the presence of Mr. Rao on the panel.
The artful dodger he is, escaping the investigations, for too long, with his legal knowledge!
