Mumbai Court Rejects FIR Plea Against Thane Judge
A person from Thane accused a judge of taking bribes and passing unfair orders.
The person asked the court to file a special report against the judge.
The court in Mumbai said no because the accusations were not clear and didn't follow the rules.
The court also said that judges can't be punished for decisions they make while doing their job.
The person claimed the judge took about Rs 1.54 lakh as a bribe, but the court said the evidence wasn't strong enough.
A Thane resident accused a district and sessions judge of passing unlawful orders and taking bribes.
The special court in Mumbai rejected the plea, calling the allegations vague and legally untenable.
The complainant alleged the judge dismissed his criminal revision application due to corrupt motives and external influence.
The court noted that the allegations were based on hearsay and lacked specific details.
The court emphasized that judges are protected from criminal proceedings for judicial orders passed during their official duties.
