Madras HC judges submit statements of assets

All Judges of the Madras High Court, including its Madurai Bench, have submitted statements of their assets and those of their spouses and minor children to Chief Justice H K Gokhale.

High Court officials yesterday said that all judges have given the statements.

Justice Gokhale recently said that most of the Judges had handed over their declarations, which would be put on the High Court website during the course of this week.

On September 3, he announced that a full court meeting had resolved that the Judges would declare their assets by October 31. The deadline was later extended to November 15.

Justice K Chandru soon after being sworn-in as a permanent Judge of the High Court on November 9 had handed over an envelope containing details of assets held by him, his spouse and minor daughter to the Chief Justice.
