Kochi (Kerala) July 7, 2025 (ANI): Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar says, "...Our judiciary had Ides of March on the night intervening 14th and 15th March...Cash in large amount was found at the official residence of a judge of the High Court...If that cash was found, the system should have moved immediately and the first process would have been to deal with it as a criminal act, find out those who are culpable and bring them to justice. But so far, there has been no FIR. The government at the central level is handicapped because an FIR cannot be registered in view of a judgment of the Supreme Court rendered in early 90s. I'm all for independence of Judiciary. I'm a strong votary of protecting judges...We must protect our Judges from frivolous litigation...But when something like this happens, it is worrisome."
