The statement, which has been issued from the office of the Supreme Court's secretary general, said that it is most unfortunate that a leading newspaper chose to state that the two judges met Justice Bobde.
Advocate Utsav Bains, who claimed he was offered money to frame Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi in a sexual harassment case, has said the “mastermind behind the conspiracy is one of the biggest corporates in the country”
When contacted, Justice Bobde, who is next to the CJI in seniority, confirmed the development.
"Its wisdom continues to guide us in moments of crisis. It's in our best interest to heed advice under the constitution. If we don't, our hubris will result in sharp descent into chaos,” news agency ANI quoted him as saying during an event on Constitution Day.
Justice Gogoi has succeeded outgoing CJI Justice Dipak Misra who demitted office on October 2
On September 3, the president has appointed Justice Gogoi as the 46th Chief Justice of India. He will take oath on October 3 after incumbent Chief Justice Dipak Misra retires.
Justice Gogoi’s tenure will last till November 2019.
Justice Gogoi is one of the four Supreme Court judges who had held an unprecedented press conference in January this year, raising concerns about the administration in the apex court, saying it was "not in order".
"There may be some elements who try to weaken the institution, but the judiciary will refuse to succumb," the CJI said.
