Senior-most SC judge asks CJI to convene full court to discuss ‘executive interference’ in judiciary
Senior-most Supreme Court judge, Justice J Chelameswar, has shot off a letter to the Chief Justice of India asking him to consider convening a full court to take up the issue of alleged executive interference in judiciary. The letter, copies of which were also sent to 22 other apex court judges, has questioned the probe initiated by Karnataka high court Chief Justice Dinesh Maheshwari against district and sessions judge Krishna Bhat at the instance of Union ministry of law and justice, despite his name being recommended for elevation twice by the Collegium. The Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court is more than willing to do the Executive bidding, behind our back," Justice Chelameswar wrote in his six-page letter. The apex court judge, who is demitting office on June 22, took serious note of the communication between the Karnataka high court chief justice and the executive saying, "the role of High Court ceases with its recommendation".
