Twenty-one Supreme Court judges, including Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, have disclosed their financial assets and liabilities on the top court’s website, sending a strong message to critics who blamed the judiciary for lack of transparency.
The near-midnight publication of the wealth and properties, both earned and inherited, of the judges and their family members on Monday incidentally came within hours of the court issuing a statement that a three-member inquiry committee had submitted its report on the discovery of half-burnt currency notes in the official residence of a High Court judge, Justice Yashwant Varma.
