His assurance came after more than 3,000 lawyers staged a march to Parliament to protest against alleged corruption in the judiciary, especially at the lower levels.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Madan Lal Khurana received a memorandum, addressed to the PM, and also assured the delegation, led by the Delhi Bar Association president Kailash Gambhir, that adequate steps would be taken soon for the constitution of a national judicial commission.

Besides calling for the constitution of the commission for the appointment of judges and their public accountability so as to prevent corruption and nepotism in judiciary, the memorandum also brought out charges against S N Dhingra, additional district judge in the Tis Hazari court, accusing him of amassing huge wealthand properties, disproportionate to his known sources of income. The lawyers had stopped appearing before his court since May 20 as a mark of protest, it said.
