The BBC reports
Judges at India’s Supreme Court have agreed to make public details about their financial assets and to publish the information on the court’s website.
The landmark decision follows intense public debate about the importance of judicial accountability in India.
It was taken at a meeting between the 23 judges of the country’s highest court and presided over by Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan.
The decision is likely to lead some 600 high court judges to follow suit.
The decision comes days after Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan said that the judges needed to arrive at a consensus on public declaration of their assets in the absence of a law.
It also follows a recent statement by two high court judges that they would publicly disclose their assets.
