Opinions are, of course, divided on the judges’ move. Some like former Attorney General of India Soli Sorabjee expressed his dissatisfaction and said he wished they hadn’t done so – “I am very upset about this, I wish the four SC judges hadn’t done this.” Senior Supreme Court lawyer KTS Tulsi, on the other hand, indicated that the judges must have exhausted all options before going public – “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.”
