The Supreme Court Friday dismissed another plea for a Supreme Court-monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the alleged judicial corruption in allowing admissions in blacklisted medical colleges.

Dismissing the plea filed by the Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reforms (CJAR), a NGO that spearheads the movement for transparency in judiciary, the bench comprising Justices RK Agrawal, Arun Mishra and AM Khanwilkar also imposed a cost of Rs 25 lakh on the petitioner.

The court had earlier dismissed a similar plea, which made similar allegations, filed by senior advocate Kamini Jaiswal. The petition had claimed that allegations of bribery were levelled for securing favourable orders in cases relating to medical colleges. This is the same case in which retired Orissa HC judge IM Quddusi is also an accused.

In an FIR, the CBI had named several persons, including Justice Quddusi, Lucknow-based Prasad Institute of Medical Sciences' chairman BP Yadav, his son Palash Yadav and three others.
