Katju's anger against Gogoi perhaps stems out from a past incident when in 2016, a Supreme Court bench headed by then SC Judge had slapped a contempt notice on retired judge Markandey Katju for his controversial social media posts on sensitive issues.
Former CJI RM Lodha has stated in his police complaint that he had deposited Rs 1 lakh in an account number provided in an email from his friend's hacked account.
CJI Gogoi also said, in response to the sexual harassment allegations, that this is a pressure tactic to dissuade him from hearing important cases that are up for hearing next week.
