Held, The Allahabad High Court has had a glorious history having produced great lawyers who were leaders in the Independence struggle. It is the largest High Court in India, and often gives leadership to all the High Courts in the country. There are presently many excellent Judges of the Allahabad High Court. These upright Judges are keeping the flag of the High Court flying high by their integrity and hard work. It is therefore totally false to say that all Judges of the Allahabad High Court are corrupt, or to construe our order dated 26.11.2010 in that manner. It is nowhere mentioned in the said order that all Judges of the High Court are corrupt. What is mentioned in the order is that there are complaints against "certain Judges", not all Judges. It has been mentioned in the order that many lawyers who are relatives of Judges are scrupulously taking care that no one should lift a finger on that account. It is clarified that many Judges in the High Court are doing the same. We can quite appreciate the anguish of some of the learned Judges of the Allahabad High Court, but we cannot overlook the fact that there are times when introspection is required, and not mere reaction. We earnestly request the Hon'ble Judges of the High Court to consider our order in that spirit. We again reiterate that there are many excellent Judges in the Allahabad High Court who are working hard and doing their duty honestly, and we have not painted everyone with the same brush.
