Without disclosing what they were upset about, the four judges -- Justice J Chelameswar (the No.2 in the apex court hierarchy), Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Kurien Joseph and Justice Madan B Lokur, said that “they have been compelled to do this”.
They said that "administration of the Supreme Court is not in order and that many things less than desirable have happened in the last few months”.
All four of them said that “they were convinced that for the survival of democracy an impartial judge and justices are needed”.
