BENGALURU: “I am going to protect the independence of judiciary at the cost of my judgeship. I am not scared. I have not made an inch of property after becoming a judge. I have sold four acres of my father’s property after I became a judge. Why should I hesitate?”
When Karnataka high court judge HP Sandesh thundered thus on Monday, the message was clear. No wonder, IAS officer J Manjunath and IPS officer Amrit Paul were arrested within hours, in connection with the DC’s office bribery case and PSI recruitment scandal, respectively.
