In separate letters, senior advocate Yatin Oza & a group of activists questioned the propriety of Saturday’s hearing into allegations against CJI Ranjan Gogoi.
Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association says charges must be dealt with according to law. But SC staffers come out in support of CJI Ranjan Gogoi.
Utsav Bains said he was approached to organise a press conference to 'frame' Ranjan Gogoi, and represent the ex-SC staffer who made allegations against him.
Supreme Court convenes a special bench to counter the harassment charges against the CJI, asks media to exercise restraint in reporting the 'unverified charges'.
In his 2017 order, the Mumbai judge noted there was sufficient material to frame charges against Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur in the 2008 Malegaon blast case.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
PTC Industries is investing Rs 1,000 cr in 4 manufacturing plants in UP, has already started supplying titanium parts to BAE Systems for its M-777 howitzers that India also uses.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Very very unfortunate development of state of affairs in this country. MeToo movement in many cases are movement of sinister intents rampant with envy….. The allegation against CJI comes the cheapest publicity stunt… I know he ll come out clean…
The way the issue has been reported is undoubtedly with malafide intentions and ulterior motive. If the so-called complainant has written to 22 judges why haven’t the mischievous Creed of activists left it to these judges wisdom to react? Than waiting they have hastily intervened shows the hidden motive. Weren’t they the ones who provoked 4 senior judges to hold that uncalled for press conference and they are the ones who now to seem be annoyed with one of those judges who is CJI. In fact post-conference the gang had expected Mr. Gogoi not to be elevated as CJI when they would have targeted the Government as usual. That Mr. Gogoi having been appointed as CJI as per norm and he sticking to merit than obliging the gang has completely smashed their script. Therefore the alleged sexual drama.
Absolutely right. And, the manner in which the professional activists have taken up the cause of the accuser is too suggestive, considering the fact that the CJI is too high a personality for such a small functionary to come near him. And, lest one should forget, the timing of the complaint being made public and the fact that the CJI happens to be the son of a former Congress CM are also noteworthy.
Rafale, Rafale, Rafale!!! Order, Order, Order!!!
CJI should call all Gujjus’ bluff and immediately set up a bench comprising judges other than himself. Nothing will be proved.
I would like to elaborate on my last line, “nothing will be proved”. I should have said, “The complaint will be found bogus”, and filed by the complainant with Mala fide intentions. Today’s INDIAN EXPRESS says on the front page that an FIR of cheating was filed against this woman on 3rd March, and she is apparently out on bail. (cheating of rs. 50,000). If she had filed the sexual harassment case against the CJI before 3rd March, then it would have a merit as an INDEPENDENT case. But if it’s filed after 3rd March, which seems to the case, then it is very likely a false accusation brought forth to divert attention from the cheating case.
Besides, we must ponder at one more point : she claims to have sought help from 22 Supreme Court judges. Now, those are hardened men and women of the law, who have spent all their life in the service of justice and propriety, and that’s why they have reached the highest court in our country; is it possible that not one or two, but all TWENTY TWO of them saw no merit in this woman’s complaint? I won’t believe it. Also, very likely, some of those 22 must be WOMAN Judges, even they felt no need to help one of their “sisters”?! Rafale, Rafale, Rafale !!!
The “senior lawyer” mentioned in the article is an AAP politician, who is known for such protests and has been chastised by the court multiple times. The “activists” are well activists. But most of these activists demonstrated their hypocrisy when in the METOO moment they raised all hai tauba earlier, but when some leftist “intellectuals” got ensnared too, they suddenly shut up. I think instead of activism, the right process should be followed here to resolve this. The public accusation doesn’t make any one guilty.

Most unfortunate. This issue will not subside by edict or fiat.
