Judicial Corruption - MP says Supreme Court Judge took Bribe!

A Congress MP says that he was witness to a Supreme Court judge accepting a bribe of Rs 36 Lakhs in 1994 to get cancellation of a bar licence revoked.

"I plead and plead very strongly that very strong action should be taken to restore the sublime position that the judiciary enjoys in our constitution," said V R Krishna Iyer, former Supreme Court judge.
