Patna
Patna HC administration on Wednesday issued termination orders to 16 staffers of Patna district and sessions judge courts. They have been caught on camera accepting dollars from litigants inside courtrooms in Nov 2017.
A news channel had performed sting operations for more than two weeks in unique courts and located them accepting dollars for informing about the subsequent date of hearing, their jail selection and even for displaying them the papers connected to their offences. The accused who have been facing trial and sent to unique jails have been dependent on the court clerks about the selection to jails — Beur, Phulwari or Danapur — and it was decided on the illegal gratification offered to the court employees (Peshkars).
Entire proceedings of providing and accepting of dollars was carried out in presence of the judges concerned in the courts.
