The Supreme Court has stayed an order from the Lokpal, which had granted jurisdiction to probe high court judges. The court found the development "disturbing" and issued notices to the Centre, the Lokpal office, and the complainant. The Lokpal had earlier directed that complaints about high court judges influencing cases be forwarded to the Chief Justice of India for consideration. The case concerns allegations that a high court judge had influenced another judge and a district judge to favor a private company with which he had past connections.
