💨 Abstract

The Centre has disagreed with the Lokpal's decision to include high court judges within the Lokpal Act's jurisdiction. It argues that high courts are constitutional offices, not bodies established under a Parliamentary law, and cannot be subject to the Lokpal's inquiry. This stance was conveyed to the Supreme Court by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta.
