Karnataka high court judge D V Shylendra Kumar continues his lone fight to bring transparency and accountability to judiciary.

His latest attempt to call all judges of the high court to a tea party to discuss continuation of Chief Justice P D Dinakaran as the administrative head of the high court even when an impeachment inquiry is on didn't go far as none of the judges turned up for the meeting on Thursday.

In an open letter, posted on his website on March 8, he told his fellow judges how he had written to Dinakaran to "refrain from discharging administrative functions" and not to draw full salary.

He also wrote that Dinakaran's continued administrative functions was a "very disturbing development." "In my earnest and humble opinion, you should definitely desist from exercising even administrative function as chief justice," he added.

Shylendra Kumar came to hog limelight last year when he defied the Chief Justice of India and made his assets public. He had also questioned functioning of the supreme court collegium in selection of judges a few days earlier.
