Unprecedented Cash Discovery Sparks Political and Judicial Discussions

Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar organized a meeting with party leaders due to a controversial cash discovery at a high court judge's residence. This incident, linked to a fire at the judge's home, has prompted discussions on judicial integrity and the constitutional authority of Parliament.

Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar convened a crucial meeting with leaders of various political parties on Tuesday, aiming to chart the House's response to recent, contentious findings of large sums of cash at the official residence of a Delhi High Court judge.

The discovery followed a fire incident, raising alarms and dominating conversations about judicial transparency. The Supreme Court's unprecedented decision to publish an in-house inquiry report, complete with visual evidence, has intensified scrutiny on the judiciary.

This incident contextually unfolds amidst discussions on judicial reforms, reflecting on the previously struck-down National Judicial Appointments Commission Act. Dhankhar calls on MPs to evaluate the necessity of upholding Parliament's authority amid such judicial controversies.
