Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday criticised the “corruption” allegedly rampant in the judiciary, saying he had come to know that several lawyers write the judgments and take them to the judges, who pronounce them without any alteration.
“Things are really very serious in our institutions, be it the lower judiciary or the higher judiciary. The countrymen should reflect on it,” he said.
He said he had never spoken to the judges who were appointed on his recommendation in his capacity as the Chief Minister, which was the usual practice for the High Courts 25 years ago.
