Summary:[...]the awareness that there exists machinery for examination of complaints against the Judge would preserve the faith of the people in the independence and impartiality of the judicial process. Few of them are as follows: * Do not contest any election except to an association connected with law. * Don't allow relatives who are lawyers to appear in your court or share your residence. * Don't hear a case involving a relative or a firm in which you own shares. * Don't debate political issues publicly or speak on subjudice matters. * Let judgements speak for themselves. * Do not give interview to media. * Do not accept gifts, hospitality or contributions. * Don't speculate in shares or stocks. * Do not engage directly or indirectly in trade or business. * Don't seek any perks attached to your office unless it's clearly available.\n Judicial accountability involves answerability and responsibility.
