Dinakaran assets row: Judges to meet Moily today
New Delhi: A panel of top judges will meet the Law Minister Veerappa Moily today to appeal against PD Dinakaran's recommended promotion to the Supreme Court.

Senior lawyers Fali Nariman and Shanti Bhushan, on the basis of a detailed letter of complaint from several lawyers based in Chennai, wrote to the prime minister and President Pratibha Patil, seeking intervention and calling for a probe into the allegations before promoting the Karnataka Chief Justice.

The letter, which was sent under the auspices of the Forum for Judicial Accountability, levels serious charges of amassing huge assets and other irregularities against Justice Dinakaran.
