SC turns down Dinakaran�s plea on probe panel

By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, July 5 � Accusing Sikkim High Court Chief Justice P D Dinakaran of adopting delaying tactics, the Supreme Court today rejected his plea to invalidate the inquiry by a Rajya Sabha-appointed panel into his alleged corrupt practices and misconduct, reports PTI.

A bench of justices G S Singhvi and C K Prasad, however, asked the Rajya Sabha chairman and Vice President Hamid Ansari to replace one of the three members of the panel senior advocate P P Rao whose unbiasness was questioned by Dinakaran.

Holding that it was a �calculated� move on the part of Chief Justice of High Court to raise objection against Rao to delay the proceeding which is to be completed within three months, the bench said reconstitution of committee will not hamper the proceedings and it shall proceed on the charges already framed against the Judge.
