The Chief Justice of India’s office received 8,360 complaints against sitting judges in the last ten years, the Union Law Ministry told Parliament. The disclosure came during Friday’s session, raising fresh concerns about transparency, accountability, and judicial oversight.
The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that complaints, service records, and inquiry details of judicial officers are personal information and cannot be disclosed under the RTI Act. The Court held that such disclosures lack public interest and are protected under Sections 8(1)(j) and 8(1)(e) of the RTI Act.
