Pratyush Sinha who recently retired as Chief Vigilance Commissioner has lamented that one-third of Indians are "utterly corrupt". (He has provided some ammunition for a new advertisement slogan from Amul!) He has also said that half are "border line" which means that one-sixth are honest.
Shanti Bhushan who was the Law Minister in Morarji Desai's cabinet has given a list of 16 former Chief Justices of India to the Supreme Court mentioning that 8 of them were corrupt, 6 honest and 2 could be either way.
It is interesting to note that the proportion of the corrupt among CJIs is more than that among the entire Indian population.
Veerapa Moily, presently Law Minister has taken serious exception to Pratyush Sinha's observation. Moily is typically shooting the messenger.

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has to look into the affidavit filed by the former Law Minister and initiate follow-up action..Ignoring or sleeping over the affidavit containing serious allegations is not an exercisable option.
