Inquiries into occupation of quarters by judicial officer
The following statement is issued in response to the editorial and related news report of the Eastern Express today (Tuesday):
"The Judiciary commenced inquiries as soon as it received notice of allegations of improper conduct by a judicial officer relating to his occupation of government quarters. No action, if such is considered to be called for, can be taken against the officer until these inquiries are completed. As soon as our inquires are completed, whatever action is indicated as appropriate will be taken. These inquiries are being conducted without delay and the outcome will be made public in due course. The Judiciary most strongly refute the wholly irresponsible suggestion that there is any form of cover-up."
