Four Supreme court judges in talks with colleagues
Context
Even as the second round of talks between Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra and his four senior-most colleagues did not take place on Wednesday, “each of the four judges” — Justices Jasti Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, Madan B. Lokur and Kurian Joseph — is “speaking” to other Supreme Court judges on the issues raised by them in public on January 12.
Meeting with CJI Misra likely today
- The four judges are talking to their colleagues even as some judges felt that the four should have “taken them into confidence” before going public.
- The source said the judges may have “naturally different ideas” about the issues but they “understand the problem.”
- The Chief Justice took the initiative on January 16 to meet his four colleagues and break the ice. The meeting also coincided with an order passed by a Bench of Justices Arun Mishra and Mohan M. Shantanagoudar to put up two PIL petitions seeking a probe into the death of CBI judge B.H. Loya before an “appropriate Bench.”
- Besides, Justice Gogoi, Justices U.U. Lalit and D.Y. Chandrachud also called on Justice Chelameswar
