Lawyers from Karnataka have presented the chief justice of India, K.G. Balakrishnan, a memorandum seeking the transfer of Justice P.D. Dinakaran from the Karnataka high court to some other HC following the allegations against him. Until the transfer is affected, no judicial work should be given to him, they say.
The former Bombay high court judge, Hosbet Suresh, writes*:
“Justice Dinakaran sits in court with no restraint on him. If what has appeared in the press cannot be hidden from the public ear and eye, will the public have confidence in his administration of justice?”
Senior advocate Pramila Nesargi has presented a complaint to the central vigilance commission (CVC) seeking a probe into the allegations of corruption against Justice Dinakaran, a public servant as defined under the prevention of corruption Act.
Now, the former chief justice of India, J.S. Verma, has weighed in, in an edit page piece in the Indian Express:
“I neither know Justice Dinakaran, nor do I comment on the merits of the allegations made against him. I speak only on the basis of the information in the public domain brought out by media reports of the uncontroverted facts, which to my mind are sufficient for his non-appointment to the Supreme Court on the above ground….
“If the available material is sufficient to create a reasonable doubt warranting further inquiry, the test for non-appointment laid down judicially is satisfied and it is difficult to appreciate the propriety of keeping alive the issue of his appointment to the Supreme Court.
“I for one, with experience of the office of CJI and as the author of the opinion that lays down the existing law, find the persistence with the recommendation embarrassing and contributing to an erosion of the image of the institution. I wish the imbroglio ends soon with withdrawal of the recommendation. “

CHURUMURI POLL: Is Dalit Dinakaran above the law?
If he is unfit for Supreme Court, how is he fit for Karnataka HC?
If he is unfit for Supreme Court, how is he fit for Karnataka HC—II?
‘Integrity + competence + judicial temperament’

I really appreciate weak Pramila Nesargi with her efforts.
Also her involvement with Priyanka of Nandini Layout in the classical Dushyanta Shakuntala case which churumuri didn’t report due to madivantike.
But I wonder if she can take on two tamilians KGB and PDD. It’s evident that KGB is protecting him. Who can question KGB? Kind of dictatorship by secular votebank congress for 35+10 years now.
Though BJP has kamala it’s uncertain if it’s Laksmi’s or Brahma’s or Saraswathi’s.
Congress makes sure it’s Laksmi’s even without kamala.

This demand is totally unjustified. If Dinakaran is not fit to be CJ of Karnataka can you transfer and impose him on another state ?

Poor Sikkim has had to tolerate many such delinquent dispensers of justice.
Dig news out of the archives, you will find instances like CJ of largest HC(Allahabad) having been transferred to the smallest(then Sikkim).
It was done very actively and regularly during emergency.
Kicking them to smaller HCs means that their careers are shunted aside, so instead of becoming the CJI in say 2012, one may become only a CJ of Punjab or Maharashtra at the max.

I think Yediyurappa and the entire legislature should be transferred to Andaman.

The allegations against Mr P.D Dinakaran is man made by self serving politiacian for a personal gain. A Judge who was not corrupt for 16 long years as jundge has become overnight corruopt because he was elevated to supreme court. Incidentally he alieanated mining mafia [ business men, politicians, legal luminaries, ……] These people lost their regualr income because of PDD’s judgements on mining exports.
