COMPLAINTS REGARDING DENIAL OF JUSTICE TO DOCK WORKERS

---

The Government has received a complaint regarding denial of justice to 21 dock workers of New Mangalore Port Trust.

The complaint is against a sitting Judge of the Karnataka High Court and pertains to a period prior to his appointment as a Judge of the High Court. As the complaint is not in relation to the discharge of his duties as a Judge, it has not been possible for the Government to take any action in the matter.

This information was given by the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs, Shri Arun Jaitley in a written reply to a question from Shri N.K. Premachandran in the Rajya Sabha today.
