Bihar cabinet approves dismissal of three judges

The report said that the mobile phone location of all the three officers was found to be within the range of Forbisganj tower, near the India-Nepal border, Jan 26-27. Their phones were in silent mode for some time and then all the three were in constant touch. Soon, they were back in India.

The enquiry report even mentioned the registration number of the car which they used to go to Nepal.

The report further said that as the incident occurred in a foreign country, direct evidence was not available and the hotel destroyed the relevant pages from its register, but from the materials available, the involvement of the three was proved on the principle of preponderance of probability.

All the three denied their involvement or that they had crossed over to Nepal.

Only last month, the Patna High Court had ordered compulsory retirement of Jehanabad District Judge Ajay Kumar Srivastava on the recommendation of a seven member committee looking into allegations of idecent behaviour and malpractice against him.
