New Delhi, May 18 (PTI) The Supreme Court today allowed an NGO to assist the Rajya Sabha-appointed panel in its ongoing probe into the charges of corruption and judicial misconduct against Sikkim High Court Chief Justice P D Dinakaran.
A vacation bench headed by Justice G S Singhvi allowed civil society Forum for Judicial Accountability's plea after it contended that earlier it had been allowed to assist the inquiry committee during the impeachment process of Justice V Ramaswami of the Supreme Court.
The apex court court, however, said the civil society would not be allowed to file its written submission and affidavit before the three-member committee headed by Justice Aftab Alam of the Supreme Court.
Besides Justice Alam, senior advocate P P Rao and Karnataka High Court Chief Justice J S Khehar are the members of the committee.
