In an unprecedented move, four Supreme Court judges today came out against the Chief Justice of India , saying that events in the Supreme Court left them with no choice but to address the nation.Justice J Chelameshwar said the administration of the nation's top court was not in order.He said this was an extraordinary event in the history of the institution, and that they were compelled to act in this way because the Chief Justice could not be persuaded to mend the ways of the court."We met CJI this morning. We collectively tried to persuade CJI that certain things aren't in order so take remedial measures but unfortunately our efforts failed," says Justice Chelameswar."The four of us gave a letter to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) some months ago," the Justices revealed. "It is discharge of debt to the nation which has brought us here, Justice Ranjan Gogoi told the media.Chelameshwar said democracy in this country would not survive without an institution as important as the Supreme Court, and a free judiciary."We owe a responsibility to the institution and the nation. Our efforts have failed in convincing CJI to take steps to protect the institution," the judges said."It is with no pleasure that we have been compelled to do this, administration of Supreme Court is not in order," they said.In response to a question on whether the CJI should be impeached, Justice Chelameshwar said that it was for the nation to decide.Justice Gogoi, who would be succeeding present CJI in October this year, said that, "it's a discharge of debt to the nation which we have done."The other judges involved included Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Madan Lokur and Justice Kurien Joseph.The press conference was called at Justice Chelameswar's residence here at Tughlaq Road.In response, a special CJI hearing has been scheduled for 2 PM after Justice Dipak Misra also met the Attorney-General KK Venugopal.Justice Ranjan Gogoi said that the difference with the Chief Justice arose during the assignment of the case regarding the death of Justice Loya. He said the the death of Justice Loya left all four of them aggrieved.The Supreme Court today agreed to hear two separate pleas seeking independent probe into the death of special CBI judge B H Loya, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case.Loya had gone to Nagpur to attend the wedding of a colleague’s daughter on November 30, 2014, when he apparently fell ill suddenly and died of a heart attack. After Loya’s death, Judge MB Gosavi took over the Sohrabuddin case.It's quite shocking. There must have been compelling reasons for the senior-most judges to have adopted this course of action. One could see pain on their faces while they were speaking:Issues don't matter. It is their complaint on administrative matter. They are only 4, there are 23 others. 4 get together and show the Chief Justice in a poor light. It is immature & childish behaviour. All four judges should be impeachedWe can't criticize them, they are men of great integrity & have sacrificed a lot of their legal career, where they could've made money as senior counsels. We must respect them. PM must ensure that the 4 judges & CJI, in fact whole SC come to one opinion & proceed further:It is certainly a very serious development which has cast a huge shadow on the Chief Justice. Somebody had to confront the situation, where CJ is blatantly misusing his powers, hence the unprecedented stepAnguished by deep differences between judges. They should resolve issues as a familyThis is a black day for Judiciary. Today's press conference would cause a bad precedent. From now on every common man could look at all judicial order with suspicion. Every judgement will be questionedSo, it's not just one case. Some of the most respected judges have raised larger questions about judiciary's independence is being compromised. Time for every democracy loving citizen to stand for judiciary, stand with independent judgesJudges had to come before media & take this unprecedented step. This means that there is a serious dispute, either with Chief Justice of India (CJI) or some internal disputeGiving a Press Conference is not the right way:I think it's a historic press conference. It was very well done. I think we, the people of India, have a right to know what is going on within the judiciary & I welcome this :There must be some serious reason that they were left with no other option but to hold a Press Conference. But what connection Loya has with this? I know nothing about this & I don't want to make comments about any political matter:
