On December 4, 2019, the premier investigating agency filed a corruption case against the then-sitting Allahabad High Court judge SN Shukla, IM Quddusi, a retired Chhattisgarh High Court judge, and four others for obtaining a favorable order in exchange for money for a Lucknow-based medical college.
In 2018, the then-Chief Justice of India, Dipak Misra, recommended for Justice SN Shukla’s impeachment after the Supreme Court’s in-house investigation revealed his gross misconduct. However, despite Justice Ranjan Gogoi’s follow-up with the central government, he was not impeached.
