NDTV
Former Supreme Court Judge AK Patnaik was on the bench that gave the landmark judgment disqualifying MPs and MLAs from the date of conviction in a criminal case.
Former Supreme Court Judge AK Patnaik had said the judiciary has taken several good steps since he retired in 2014 and the courts should, while staying within their limits, seize opportunities to "clean" legislatures. Justice Patnaik was on the bench that gave the landmark judgment disqualifying MPs and MLAs from the date of conviction in a criminal case.
Speaking exclusively to NDTV's Ashish Kumar Bhargava on Friday, the judge also highlighted the live-streaming of cases as a great step forward by the judiciary, saying it brings in transparency and keeps both judges and lawyers in check.
