PF scam: SC issues notice to Centre
A Supreme Court bench headed by the Chief Justice of India looking into allegations of corruption against judges in the Ghaziabad Treasury provident fund scam has issued notices to the Centre, the Chief Secretary and the Home Secretary of UP seeking their response in the case.
The apex court will hear the petition for probe against the judges on August 1.
News Channel NDTV had broken the story of a clerk in the government treasury siphoning off around Rs 7 crores from provident funds with the collusion of district judges who were posted in Ghaziabad district court.
The clerk named 26 judges, including a SC judge and sitting and retired high court judges.
The Chief Justice first held an in-camera hearing on Monday, but later the bench decided to hear the petitioners in an open court.
The Chief Justice has allowed the Uttar Pradesh Police to send a questionnaire to the judges involved.
