CBI, intel chiefs summoned over harassment of CJI

The Indian Supreme Court yesterday signaled its determination to get to the bottom of the claims by a lawyer who alleged there was a larger conspiracy to force Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi to resign and threaten every top court judge. “We shall enquire, enquire and enquire till we get to the root of the issue,” a three-judge bench said yesterday afternoon. The judges had taken up lawyer Utsav Bains’ affidavit - which claimed more incriminating evidence about the conspiracy - early in the day. The bench expressed its concern at the nature of the allegations and summoned chiefs of the intelligence bureau, probe agency CBI and Delhi Police for a meeting in their chambers at 12:30 pm.
