COURT REPORTS 423 It was lastly contended for the appellant tliat even .if the High Court could hold a preliminary enquiry into the conduct of a judicial officer, it had no jurisdic­ tion to decide the matter finally, that the findings given by Balakrishna Ayyar J. should not be held to petition or in the High Court, and we must, therefore, decline to entertain it. In the result, the appeal is dismissed with costs. Appeal dismissed. OM PRAKASH GUPTA v. STATE of U. P. (with connected appeals) (S. R. DAS c. J., BHAGWATI, VENKATARAMA AYYAR, S. K.
