The court refused to comment on the recent development of declaration of assets by judges of various state high courts.

The Delhi High Court May 4 had reserved its order on an apex court plea challenging CIC's order that judges declare their assets.

Solicitor General G.E. Vahanvati contended before Justice Bhatt that disclosure of information on personal assets by judges will affect the independence of the judicial system.

'If we introduce transparency to an extent which would disturb the working of the judges, then it would affect the independence of the judicial system,' Vahanvati had said.
