The woman, who has accused CJI Ranjan Gogoi of harassing her while she was working at his home office, will also seek damages for 'human rights violations'.
Police had detained 55 protesters, but later released all of them. The security in and around the Supreme Court has been tightened to prevent further protests.
Supreme Court’s In-House Committee submits report to next senior judge. Move comes over 2 weeks after former SC employee levelled the charges against CJI Gogoi.
A special bench of the Supreme Court will be hearing petitions seeking a review of the court's Rafale verdict and the contempt case against Rahul Gandhi.
A newspaper report claimed Justices R.F. Nariman & D.Y. Chandrachud had asked panel not to continue proceedings ex parte, but SC says it’s ‘wholly incorrect’.
Forget comparing it with classics like Hrithik’s Ek Pal Ka Jeena or the slick title track of Dhoom 2, Janaab-e-Aali does not even come close to Ghungroo.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
The Constitution is based on equality. Judges are protected from bona fide errors/ acts – not mala fide errors / acts. There is no provision in the Constitution for the protection of mala fide errors / acts by judges, as it would contravene the Constitutionally fundamental principle of equality. If anything, the illegal act of a court of law is more guilty of the crime – the liability being the penal provision for the act per se, compounded by criminal breach of trust. Aequum et bonum, est lex legum. What is good and equal, is the law of laws.
Sans any investigation, the statements made by the various SC justices / SC office bearers / AORs / Bar Council / politicians etc., deriding the Complainant, has already interfered with the administration of justice / prejudiced the Complainant, and are liable under IPC Sec 191 at the least.
Some more factoids based on the principle of natural justice are:
1. Ignorantia legis neminem excusat. Ignorance of fact may excuse, but not ignorance of law.
The CJI knows the law but has abused his office powers by forming a bench headed by himself and interfered with the administration of justice.
2. Actio exteriora indicant interiora secreta. External actions show the secret intentions.
The intention of CJI forming a bench headed by himself to judge a case against himself is apparent. Termination of the jobs of Complainants’ husband and brother in law are coercion and cannot be coincidental. Also, as Mr. Arun Shourie has indicated, the judges have behaved like a club – consenting parties – except for Justice Chandrachud.
“Even a dog knows the difference between being kicked and being stumbled over.” ― Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
3. Agentes et consentientes, pari pœna plectentur – Parties both acting and consenting, are liable to the same punishment.
All the entities – bar association, AORs, Arun Jaitley etc. along with the CJI – have released statements accusing the Complainant subjudice. All have falsely verified the Complainant and the constitution, and are at the least subject to Sec 191.
4. Animus ad se omne jus ducit. It is to the intention that all law applies.
“Even a dog knows the difference between being kicked and being stumbled over.” ― Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
5. Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Let justice be done, though the heavens should fall.
6. “It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, …..But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, ‘whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,’ and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.”
― John Adams
7. “An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
8. Sealed envelopes submissions will only further undermine the faith in the judiciary. If the Hon’ble CJI is clear that he has not done any wrong, he should invite the media to a nationwide live broadcast of the proceedings. I am sure that all the streets will be empty during the broadcast, as was the case with the serial Satyameva Jayate.
9. The judiciary employees are public servants, paid by taxpayers money. Is the taxpayer happy paying the judges salaries, pensions etc.? The taxpayer is the paymaster and the best judge of the judges / judicial employees.
With the exception of Justice Chandrachud, I do not feel the taxpayer will approve the judges salary. Let the top 100 taxpayers decide whether to give the judges their salaries / pensions, or even claw-back provision.
Two avenues are;
1. All arguments are should be in written notes only / by e-mails – no in person appearances.
The Wire carries a detailed interview with the lady complainant, which I did not have the heart to read in full. From the concluding portion, learnt that she is from a socially less privileged background. When each of the 22 Justices read her affidavit, they must have understood in the deepest recesses of their intellect that there was pain and human suffering. Justice A P Shah told Shri Karan Thapar that this case will haunt the apex court for a long time. He considered the entire set of proceedings to be a travesty, a complete miscarriage of justice. One individual will answer to his conscience. His wife told her imperiously, when she was presented before her, “ to apologise “, Naak ragad kar jaao.

All people of good conscience should stand by her.
