NEW DELHI: Hailing the decision of the Union Government to set up a National Judicial Council for investigating complaints of alleged corruption and inefficiency against judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts with the help of investigating agencies, the Delhi Bar Association (DBA) has urged the Government to set up branches of the Council in each State to deal with complaints of corruption against the presiding officers of the lower judiciary as well. Since the High Courts had failed to deal effectively with corruption and inefficiency in the lower judiciary, there was an urgent need to set up branches of the Council in all the States to fight corruption and incapacity of the presiding officers of subordinate courts across the country, the DBA president, Rajiv Khosla, said in a statement on Saturday. The Bar Association also suggested to the Government to expand the National Judicial Council by including in it a retired Chief Justice of India, Members of Parliament and the State Assemblies and a members of the Bar Council of India . Saying that only an impartial body could check corruption in the lower judiciary, the Bar Association said the High Courts had failed to take effective action against erring judges of the subordinate courts despite submission of documentary evidence by the bar associations of the States concerned against them.
