SC seeks house panel's stand on Dinakaran’s allegations

The Supreme Court today sought the response of a Rajya Sabha-appointed panel on allegations by Sikkim High Court Chief Justice P D Dinakaran that it has exceeded its jurisdiction in probing charges of judicial misconduct and corruption against him. A vacation bench of justices G S Singhvi and C K Prasad sought the three-member committee's response while issuing notice to it on Dinakaran's allegations that the panel has expanded the ambit of the probe beyond what was initially adopted by the Rajya Sabha motion. The bench decided to take up for further hearing in the case on Wednesday.The apex court had on April 29 stayed the probe by the panel after Dinakaran had expressed apprehension of a biased inquiry by it.
