SC stays Lokpal order giving itself jurisdiction over HC judges

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed a Lokpal order bringing High Court judges under its jurisdiction while terming the top anti-corruption ombudsman’s interpretation “very disturbing”. ‘Public servants’ In a 13-page order, the Lokpal concluded that High Court judges were ‘public servants’ and came within the ambit of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act of 2013. But, the Lokpal, in its January 27 order, found the argument that a High Court judge was outside the ombudsman’s jurisdiction, “too naive”. A clause of Section 14 notes the Lokpal has jurisdiction over “any person who is or has been a chairperson or member or officer or employee in any body or Board or corporation or authority or company or society or trust or autonomous body established by an Act of Parliament or wholly or partly financed by the Central government or controlled by it” The term ‘any person’ in the clause would include a judge of a High Court established by an Act of Parliament.
