CJI Dipak Misra Meets The Four Dissenting Judges To Resolve Issues

On January 12, the four judges called a press conference and claimed that cases were assigned on the basis of preference. Communist leader D Raja met with Justice Chelameswar while Congress raised grave concern and demanded an inquiry into justice Loya’s death.

Without disclosing what they were upset about, the four judges noted that “they have been compelled to do this”.

The letter also states that the way cases are now being assigned is having a deleterious effect on the administration of justice and the rule of law. It is appalling. How can you administer Supreme Court by press conference. Calling out the impropriety of the rostering by the Chief Justice didnt amount to going on a strike, the sources said.

“There have been no attempts so far to resolve the issue raised by the four judges”. The four judges have said on record that the CJI is first among equals neither more nor less. Hectic parleys took place between Justice Chelameswar and other judges to break the ice. This term is used when a different bench is hearing a matter or a judge chooses not to hear the matter.

“An independent judiciary is essential for a functioning democracy, they said”. One could see pain on their faces while they were speaking. The question is of natural justice.

The apex court had asked the Maharashtra government previously in the month to put forward the postmortem report of the CBI judge who had died under the unusual state of affairs, pronouncing that the “matter was very serious”. “But the issues are far too important and can not be brushed under the carpet”, Mr. Yechury said. He said: “I am saying on behalf of millions and millions of people to empower the CJI. The judges will now have to act in statesmanship and ensure that the divisiveness is wholly neutralised and total harmony and mutual understanding will prevail in future”, he said. We must trust the judges. “Everything is under control”, Venugopal said.

Instead, the news agency reported, the five-judge bench, comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice AK Sikri, Justice AM Khanwilkar, Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice Ashok Bhushan, will commence hearing on a range of crucial matters from 17 January. There was also no official word from the CJI office yet.

Supreme Court of India is the highest judicial forum and final court of appeal under the Indian constitution. “Family disputes are never taken to the streets”, he said. The letter which they had written to the CJI a few months ago did not invoke any response from him. While some judges were of the different opinion.

The Supreme Court asked the Maharshtra government to provide all documents pertaining to special CBI judge BH Loya’s mysterious death to the petitioners in the case after the state submitted important papers including a post mortem report and a 50-page intelligence report in a sealed cover on Tuesday.
