“Before meeting the CJI, the panel had also discussed the crisis plaguing the higher judiciary with other judges, including three of the four senior-most judges (J Chelameswar, M B Lokur and Kurian Joseph) who had mounted a virtual revolt against Justice Misra at an unprecedented press conference on Friday.  Chelameswar, Lokur and Joseph also assured that everything would be sorted out,” Mishra told reporters.

However he did not mention if the panel had a talk with the fourth rebellion judge, Justice Ranjan Gogoi, who had gone out of station after Friday’s presser.

The BCI panel also had a brief meeting with Justice Arun Mishra, who is in focus for hearing a PIL seeking a probe into the death of special CBI judge B H Loya.  Earlier in the day, Anuj Loya, son of the late judge, at a press conference said that they no longer had any doubts regarding the death.

“Our family is pained with the chain of events in past the few days. Please do not harass and trouble us. We are not putting allegations on anyone. I do not have any suspicion related to the matter,” son of the late judge had said.

Loya, who was dealing with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh “fake encounter” case, had allegedly died of a cardiac arrest in Nagpur on December 1, 2014.
