New Delhi: Expressing concern over corruption in the judiciary, Chief Justice of India RM Lodha asserted that independence of judiciary is non-negotiable. "As things change and economy grows, corruption also grows. Don't do anything that brings corruption in judiciary," he said.
He also warned judges to be wary of people who tempt them for unlawful acts. "There are people who play trick on judges and are prepared to tempt judges and please them. We have to ensure that corruption is eradicated in all forms in judiciary.
The CJI said that the Judiciary has inherent strength and no effort will succeed in taking away judicial independence. "Independence of judiciary leads to confidence in mind of public that it will come to their aid and rescue if any wrong is committed by executive," he said.
