'''Judges Assets Bill''' is a proposed legislation in [[India]] which would make disclosure of personal assets of judges mandatory in India. The Bill titled ''The Judges Declaration of Assets and Liabilities Bill, 2009'' was attempted to be introduced in [[Rajya Sabha]] by Justice Minister [[M. Veerappa Moily]] on 3 August 2009. However, it was postponed due to opposition from both Left and Right about Clause 6 of the bill which states that High Court and Supreme Court judges would declare their assets but the same would not be made public.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2009/08/04/stories/2009080455411000.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090805105255/http://www.hindu.com/2009/08/04/stories/2009080455411000.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 August 2009|title= Opposition forces deferment of judges' assets Bill|date=4 August 2009|work=[[The Hindu]]|location=Chennai, India}}</ref><br />
