Debate on Judicial Accountability Sparks Parliamentary Discussions

A meeting chaired by Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar focused on judicial accountability, amidst allegations involving a high court judge. However, the meeting ended inconclusively. Members of Parliament, including Priyanka Chaturvedi and others, emphasized the need for discussions to occur within the legislative chamber.

In a meeting convened by Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, the topic of judicial accountability was on the table, following disturbing allegations about a high court judge. Despite the urgency of the matter, the meeting concluded without reaching a definitive outcome, according to Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi.

Chaturvedi noted that further discussions might occur in the House next week—instead of private antechambers, as Trinamool Congress MPs demanded transparency and structured debate on such critical issues.

BJP MP Kiran Choudhary called the Chairman's initiative a step in the right direction and stressed the importance of maintaining public trust in the judiciary. Meanwhile, the in-house inquiry panel's findings are awaited before progressing with the issue.
