47 CBI seeks HC nod to prosecute judge



The CBI has sought approval to prosecute a Punjab and Haryana
HC judge, Justice Nirmal Yadav, in the cash-at-Judge’s-door scam which came to
light in August last year. The agency said it has completed investigations in
the case and sent a report to the Union Government and the SC.

The Judge, Nirmal Yadav is accused of taking money from a
Delhi-based hotelier. Sources said that a report had been sent also to the DoPT
by the agency because the allegations against the Judge have been substantiated
by enough evidence and it now needs the approval to prosecute the Judge. In this
case the go ahead can be provided by President Pratibha Patil in consultation
with CJI K. G. Balakrishnan.
