New Delhi, Aug 27 - Despite Supreme Court judges deciding to make public their assets, Law Minister M. Veerappa Moily Thursday said the government would enact a law for making the disclosure mandatory for judges across the country and would use this information for probing criminal or corruption cases against them.

'Despite this decision to disclose their assets, parliament will have to enact a law to use these documents (pertaining to the disclosure of judges' assets) in relation to cases of (judges') accountability or under the Judges Enquiry Act,' Moily told reporters.

Moily welcomed the apex court's decision to make public its judges' assets on its website at the earliest.
