Justice PD Dinakaran, who is facing probe on charges of corruption and misconduct, has resigned as the Chief Justice of the Sikkim High Court. In his resignation letter to the Chief Justice of India, he says he was targeted by vested interests.
The resignation comes a day ahead of the hearing of the three-member inquiry committee appointed by the Rajya Sabha Chairman to probe into charges of land grabbing and acquiring of assets disproportionate to Justice Dinakaran’s income.
“Overall he was not happy with what was happening and he also felt that his continuance would harm the judiciary,” said sources.
