The case of CBI judge B H Loya’s death should be handed over to an “appropriate bench”, said a bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra on Tuesday.
According to media reports, CJI Misra made the move in attempt to resolve the dispute between him and the four senior-most judges.
The development comes a day after him and the Bar Council of India (BCI) said that the mater has been “settled” and resolved “internally”.
None of the four judges — Justices J Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, M B Lokur and Kurian Joseph, feature in the list of members of the 5-judge constitution bench.
After a 50-minute meeting with the CJI, BCI chairman Manan Kumar Mishra, who headed the delegation, told reporters that the meeting took place in a congenial atmosphere and that Justice Misra assured them that everything would be sorted out soon.
The four retired judges said that they agree with the four judges of top court that though the CJI is the master of roster and can designate benches for allocation of work but this does not mean that it can be done in an “arbitrary manner” .
The BCI delegation, led by its Chairman and senior advocate Manan Kumar Mishra, is meeting all the apex court judges today to discuss on the issue.
