Assam-born Justice Ranjan Gogoi is one of the four top judges of the Supreme Court, who in a move unprecedented in the history of Indian judiciary addressed reporters in New Delhi on Friday to declare that “all is not well” with apex court as they launched a scathing attack on Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra for “ignoring the concerns voiced by them”. The other three SC judges are Justices J Chelameswar, Madan B Lokur and Kurian Joseph, who along with Justice Gogoi addressed the media at Justice Chelameswar’s residence to vent their ire on CJI Mishra. The judges said they were compelled to take the unprecedented step as they had “no choice” but to communicate the same to the nation. Underlining they were convinced that democracy will not survive if the institution of judiciary was not protected, they said they have failed to convince the Chief Justice of India about the same, The Indian Express reported. “All our efforts have failed and we are all convinced that unless this institution is not preserved, democracy can’t be protected in the country,” The Indian Express quoted Justice Chelameswar, who is the second senior most judge, as saying. “We met the CJI with a specific request which unfortunately couldn’t convince him that we were right therefore, we were left with no choice except to communicate it to the nation that please take care of the institution,” he said, adding that the four of them were only voicing their personal opinions, and had not discussed it with anyone else. When asked if he thinks Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra should be impeached, Justice Chelameswar said, “Let the nation decide that.” Justice Gogoi added, “Nobody is breaking the rank and it is discharge of debt to nation which we have done.” Barring Justice Joseph, all the three judges—Chelameswar, Gogoi and Lokur—had served in Gauhati High Court. While Justice Lokur was appointed as the Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court on June 24, 2010, Justice Chelameswar served as the Chief Justice of Gauhati High Court in 2011. Justice Gogoi, son of former Assam Chief Minister Keshab Chandra Gogoi, originally hails from Dibrugarh in Upper Assam. He had been at the Gauhati High Court before being transferred to the Punjab and Haryana High Court on September 9, 2010. He was appointed as Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2011. He was elevated as a Supreme Court Judge in April 2012. Justice Gogoi recused himself from hearing the plea filed by a lawyers’ group against the proposed elevation of Justice J.S. Khehar as Chief Justice of India in December 2016. Justice Gogoi also led the Bench which heard the sworn statement of former CBI officer in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. He used to stay at Zoo Road Tiniali area in Guwahati when he was serving as Justice of Gauhati High Court. Justice Gogoi is in line to become the Chief Justice of India in October 2018, succeeding Justice Dipak Misra. He will be the first judge from Northeast to hold that post.

भारतको सर्वोच्च अदालतका चार न्यायाधीशले पहिलो पटक प्रधानन्यायाधीशको विरोध गर्दै पत्रकार सम्मेलन आयोजना गरेका छन्। प्रधानन्यायाधीश दीपक मिश्रको कामप्रति असन्तुष्टि जनाउँदै उनीहरुले राजधानी नयाँ दिल्लीमा पत्रकार सम्मेलन गरेका हुन्। उनीहरुले प्रधानन्यायाधीश मिश्रलाई सात पेज लामो चिठी लेखेर आफ्ना असन्तुष्टि व्यक्त गरेका छन्। चिठीमा ५ विषयलाई प्रमुखताका साथ उठाएको छ। १) सबै महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दाहरु प्रधानन्यायाधीशसहितको इजलासले सुनुवाइ गर्छ। यस्ता मुद्दाहरु अन्य वरिष्ठ न्यायाधीशलाई दिइँदैन। २) दुरगामी राष्ट्रिय प्रभाव पार्ने मुद्दाहरु पनि प्रधानन्यायाधीशले अनुचित तरिकाले आफूलाई मन परेका न्यायाधीशहरुको इजलासमा तोक्छन्। ३) न्यायाधीश बिएम लोयाको ‘रहस्यमय’ मृत्युसम्बन्धी परेको सार्वजनिक महत्वको मुद्दा यी बरिष्ठ चार जनाले नेतृत्व गर्ने इजलासमा नपारेर बरिष्ठतामा १० औं नम्बर रहेको इजलासमा पारिएको छ। न्यायाधीश लोयाले सन् २००५ मा गुजरात प्रहरीद्वारा मारिएका सोराहबुद्दिनको हत्यासम्बन्धी मुद्दा हेरिरहेका थिए। सोराहबुद्दिनको ‘इन्काउन्टर’ सम्बन्धी त्यो मुद्दामा भाजपा अध्यक्ष अमित शाह र गुजरातका तत्कालीन मुख्यमन्त्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जोडिएका थिए। सो मुद्दामा अमित शाह केही समय जेल पनि परेका थिए। लोयाको ‘रहस्यमय’ मृत्युको केही दिनपछि भएको फैसलामा अमित शाहलाई अदालतले सफाइ दिएको थियो। भारतीय सरकार विपक्षी अन्य मुद्दा पनि प्रधानन्यायाधीशले न्यायाधीश छानेर इजलास तोक्ने गरेका छन्। ४. प्रधानन्यायाधीशसहितको इजलासले हेरिरहेको सर्वोच्चमा विचाराधीन लखनऊको मेडिकल कलेज भर्नासम्बन्धी मुद्दाको फैसला मेडिकल कलेजको पक्षमा पारिदिन्छु भन्दै घुस लिइरहेको अवस्थामा सिबिआइले गत नोभेम्बरमा केहीलाई पक्राउ गरेको थियो। प्रक्राउ पर्नेमध्ये एक जना उडिसा उच्च अदालतका पूर्वन्यायाधीश थिए। प्रधानन्याधीश मिश्र पनि पहिला उडिसा उच्च अदालतमा न्यायाधीश थिए। सर्वोच्चमा सम्भावित भ्रष्टाचारसम्बन्धी सो मुद्दामा दोस्रो बरियताका न्यायाधीश जे चेलमेश्वरसहितको इजलासले एकचोटि सुनुवाइ गरिसकेको थियो। तर प्रधानन्यायाधीशले नै हेरिरहेको मुद्दामा घुस लिएको त्यो मुद्दा पनि पछि उनले आफ्नै इजलासमा राखे। मिश्रले आफू प्रधानन्यायाधीश भएकाले मुद्दाको इजलास आफैंले तोक्ने बताएका थिए। ५. यसअघि पाँच जना बरिष्ठ न्यायाधीशको इजलासले हेर्ने गरेको न्यायाधीश नियुक्ति, सरुवा बढुवा लगायतका विषयमा पनि अन्य बरिष्ठ न्यायाधीशलाई नराखी आफूले मात्र गर्ने गरेका छन्। भारतीय सर्वोच्च अदालतको इतिहासमा पहिलो पटक प्रधानन्यायाधीशविरुद्द सर्वोच्चकै न्यायाधीश यसरी सार्वजनिक रुपमा आएका हुन्। पत्रकार सम्मेलन गर्नेहरुमा न्यायाधीशहरु जे चेलमेश्वर, रञ्जन गोगोई, मदन लोकुर र कुरियन जोसेफ छन्। पत्रकार सम्मेलनमा बोल्दै न्यायाधीश जे चेलमेश्वरले भने, ‘सर्वोच्चको प्रशासन ठिक तरिकाले चलिरहेको छैन, यसलाई ठिक बनाउन हामीले धेरै कोशिश गर्यौं तर केही भएन। आज बिहान पनि हामीले प्रधानन्यायाधीशलाई भेटेका थियौं। हामीले यो सब किन भनिरहेका छौं भने भोलि हामीलाई आफ्नो आत्मा बेचेको आरोप नलागोस्।’ पत्रकार सम्मेलन गर्ने चारै जना सर्वोच्चमा मिश्र पछिका बरियतामा बरिष्ठ न्यायाधीश हुन्।
