Every other day some remark or comment by Justice Chelmeshwar is not in the interest of the institution ,as it will tempt the Govt .to interfere more in the Judiciary .He led the other Judges when they spoke first to the press.Thereafter other Judges have not said anything regarding issues raised ,but Justice Chelmeshwar is still speaking on the issues from time to time in various conferences etc, which he is attending for discussion on various topics from time to time . .He appears to be still not satisfied and happy with overulling of his order by CJI for constitution of Bench for hearing particular matter.Though it may not be correct ,but it appears from his talks that for some reasons he feels that he has missed the chance to be a CJI. While speaking to press on first occassion regarding impeachment ,the Honable Judge said that it is for people to decide,but recently when asked about impeachment ,he stated that impeachment is no solution .The other strange thing said by him is about fear of possibility of Justice Gogoi not being made the next CJI.It is not known why he had to say about this in answer to a question put by someone in the conference or otherwise ,as it was out of context and the purpose behind making this kind of statement is not clear.Though some new steps have been taken by Honable CJI regarding roster,fixing of matters before different Judges as per category of matters ,but still it appears that at least Justice Chelmeshwar is not happy with the move and still has a feeling that more important matters should have been posted before his bench.
