Now SC, HC judges have to give details of all foreign trips
The apex court stayed a Delhi High Court order which quashed the provision of a government circular that sought information from foreign-bound judges on boarding, lodging, whether accompanied by spouse, duration of visit, the organisation that had extended the invitation, purpose of visit and the cost of tour. New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday restored a government rule requiring apex court and high court judges to keep the home and external affairs ministries in the loop when travelling abroad, even on private visits. The apex court bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir, Justice SS Nijjar and Justice J Chelameswar suspended the operation of the high court’s 25 May order by which it quashed the para 10 of the government’s circular on the issue. The high court had modified the para providing for judges to furnish information about their travel plans to the chief justice of the apex court or the chief justices of high courts.
