The CBI has submitted its investigation report on the cash-for-judge scam involving Justice Nirmal Yadav to the Supreme Court and central government. The report was sent to the Chief Justice of India and the Ministry of Personnel upon completing the investigation. The CJI had previously issued a notice to Justice Yadav asking her to explain why action should not be taken against her for her alleged involvement in the August 2008 scam. The CBI may now seek to prosecute Justice Yadav based on its investigation report.
The police officers in India both under the Central and State Governments and their classifications with their badges and posts and also about types of offences and types of laws
Copying from the Central Information Commission, the Kerala State Information Commission conducted a two day seminar on RTI at Thiruvananthapuram on 11th and 12th October 2013. The Governor was supposed to inaugurate the function. Well aware of how these 'fraud' shows are organised and how the unsuspecting chief guest is made to express inanities fed by the organisers I sent a mail to the Governor on 9 Oct 2013 highlighting some important issues in the matter of implementation of the law in the State. These were the same ones I had handed over to the CIC, KSIC in Jan 2007! But as expected this was not brought to the notice of the Governor and he ended up making a fool of himself by talking only on the misuse of the Act as fed to him by the information commissioners though the fact is that it is only the information commissioners who can misuse the Act. This was also communicated to him through another mail which also was not brought to his notice. So this feedback was sent on 16 Oct 2013 along with an application under the RTI Act! The replies received both from the Public Information Officer and the First Appellate Authority at the Rajbhavan indicates that even in this office of the 1st public servant in the State the work ethics and quality are a far cry from what is expected of such an office!

1. CASH SCAM
CBI submits report on Yadav, may seek
to prosecute her
R. Sedhuraman/Legal Correspondent
New Delhi, January 23
The CBI today said it had submitted its investigation report on the cash-for-judge
scam involving Punjab and Haryana High Court judge Nirmal Yadav to the Supreme
Court and the Centre amid speculation that the investigating agency had
recommended action against her.
"The report has been sent to the Chief Justice of India (K.G. Balakrishnan) and the
Ministry of Personnel upon completion of the investigation," a CBI spokesman
confirmed, but refused to divulge the contents.
The CJI has already served notice on Justice Yadav, asking her to show cause as to
why action cannot be taken against her for her alleged involvement in the August 13,
2008 scam.
The notice was issued last month in the light of the report of a three-judge
committee set by him to go into the issue separately in addition to the CBI probe
ordered by Punjab Governor SFR Rodrigues in consultation with HC Chief Justice
Tirath Singh Thakur.
In her response to the notice, Justice Yadav had denied receiving the money and
asked for all the documents (preferably by January 14), based on which the charges
were levelled against her.
The committee comprising Chief Justices Hemant Laxman Gokhale of the Allahabad
High Court and KS Radhakrishnan of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court and Delhi
High Court judge Madan B Lokur had submitted its report to the CJI on December
12, apparently indicting her.
The case pertains to allegations that a bribe of Rs 15 lakh meant for Justice Yadav
was by mistake delivered at the residence of Justice Nirmaljit Kaur. Justice Nirmaljit
Kaur had lodged a police complaint on August 13, stating that senior Haryana law
officer Sanjeev Bansal had delivered the cash. The case was subsequently handed
over to the CBI.
It has also been alleged that another suitcase containing Rs 15 lakh was delivered to
Justice Yadav the following day (August 14).
Law Ministry sources said the CBI's request for permission to prosecute the tainted
judge would be forwarded to Rashtrapati Bhavan as the President is the appointing
authority whose consent is necessary for proceeding against such constitutional
functionaries.
