New Delhi, Apr 12: Senior most judge of the Supreme Court Justice Jasti Chelameswar on Thursday
refused to hear a plea of former Law Minister and senior Supreme Court lawyer
Shanti Bhushan, against Chief Justice of India with respect to assigning
the case to apex court's benches.
"Sorry I cannot take up the case otherwise
there would be one more reversal of order in the next 24 hours," Justice
Chelameswar told Prashant Bhushan, who was appearing for his father, Shanti
Bhushan.
Justice Chelameswar said this while referring to its earlier order on medical scam which was quashed by a bench of the CJI.
"Reasons for not taking up is too obvious.There is a relentless campaign going on against me in the last two months that I somehow want to grab the power. Please understand my difficulty," Justice Chelameswar told Prashant Bhushan.
After Justice Chelameswar refused to hear the case, Prashant Bhushan rushed to the CJI court saying that grievances raised in the petition should be addressed by court. The CJI said, "We will look into it."
Bhushan told the apex court that the petition was filed 10 days back but the apex court registry did not list the case for hearing.
He said the case shouldn't be heard by the CJI as the petition is against him and listing of case should be decided by registry after consulting with other top three judges. UNI
