New Delhi: The Supreme Court today agreed to hear urgently a plea regarding alleged bribes being taken in the name of judges.
A bench of Justices J Chelameswar and S Abdul Nazeer agreed to list the matter before itself on the request of former Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President and senior advocate Dushyanth Dave.
Mr Dave, while mentioning the matter for urgent listing, said, "This petition should be listed before a bench of Jusitce Chelameswar as it involves protection of the integrity of the institution".
He said there are serious apprehensions and therefore this matter should be taken up at 12:45 PM today.
