Justice Kurian Joseph hits out at Ranjan Gogoi for taking Rajya Sabha route.

Retired SC judge Kurian Joseph said on Tuesday former CJI Ranjan Gogoi’s decision to accept his nomination to the Rajya Sabha from the government has “certainly shaken the confidence of the common man on the independence of the judiciary”. Justice Joseph was one of the four judges, including Gogoi, who had in January 2018 gone public with their disenchantment over the manner sensitive political matters were assigned during CJI Dipak Mishra’s tenure.
