Months after eminent citizens levelled allegations of misuse of public office against former Chief Justice of India Y K Sabharwal, the government has admitted that it is investigating the judge's family.
The CBI on Friday filed the second status report in the Uttar Pradesh Provident Fund Scam case probe in which the names of judicial officers including the judges of high court and one from apex court have cropped up.

The Supreme Court has sentenced 3 women members of Mumbai's controversial 'Boss School of Music' to 3 months imprisonment for hurling a slipper at a judge but the order was changed soon afterwards giving them the chance to defend the contempt.
A woman today took off her slipper and flung it at a Supreme Court judge, but the missile fell short of a stunned Justice Arijit Pasayat who ducked in the nick of time.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday said its judges are not averse to declaring their assets and Parliament can enact a law pertaining to such declaration, but it must be ensured that the law is not misused.
