LUCKNOW: The Allahabad high court on Monday dismissed 15 judges for their "doubtful integrity, negligence and poor conduct". The decision followed a full court meeting presided over by chief justice DY Chandrachud in Lucknow, where the credentials of the tainted judicial officers were discussed.

"These judicial officers have been punished with compulsory retirement for doubtful integrity, negligence and poor performance," said registrar general SK Singh Rathore. The 15 judges include 12 additional district judges and three additional chief judicial magistrates (ACJMs).

Rathore said the pension of a retired judge will be curtailed by 10% owing to serious complaints against him.
