Press Council of India Chairman Justice Markandey Katju has alleged that three ex-Chief Justices of India had compromised in giving extension to an additional judge of Madras High court at the instance of UPA government. Justice Katju said former CJIs–Justices R C Lahoti, Y K Sabharwal and K G Balakrishnan–had made improper compromises in allowing the judge, against whom there were several allegations of corruption, to continue in office. Katju told a news channel that since he got many reports that the additional judge concerned was allegedly indulging in corruption he had requested the then CJI Lahoti to get a secret IB inquiry made about him. He claimed that the IB report found the allegations to be true and he should have been sacked. Katju said since the two-year term as additional judge of that person was coming to an end he presumed he would be discontinued as judge.
