India won't legally require top court judges to disclose assets, despite a parliamentary recommendation.

The Indian government has declared it will not introduce a law mandating asset disclosures for Supreme Court and High Court judges, despite recommendations by a parliamentary committee. Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal noted that while there are voluntary asset declaration standards set by the Supreme Court in 1997, no central legislation will be enforced. Currently, the Supreme Court website lists voluntary declarations made by judges.
