Chief Justice of the Madras High court H N Gokhale today said that a decision on the declaration of assets of judges of the court would be taken after receiving the ‘modalities’ from the Supreme Court.

“The Supreme Court has said it would provide the modalities. On receipt of this,the High Court will decide,” Gokhale conveyed through his office to mediapersons,when they sought his views on the matter.

The judges of the Supreme Court yesterday decided to make public their assets,an issue that had been haunting the higher judiciary for quite some time.
