CJI slams Modi govt for rejecting Gopal Subramanium's candidature

New Delhi, Jul 1: Chief Justice of India RM Lodha has hit out at Narendra Modi government for rejecting the candidature of former solicitor general Gopal Subramanium as SC judge.

"Independence of judiciary will never be compromised," the CJI said reacting strongly to Gopal Subramanium controversy.

The move to segregate Gopal Subramanium's name was "done by the executive without my knowledge and consent", the CJI said.

The CJI was also shocked by Gopal Subramanium's letter to him accusing the judiciary of not standing by the former solicitor general after his name was returned by the government citing adverse IB and CBI reports.

CJI said he had asked Subramanium to wait till he returned from abroad to discuss the issue.

But Goapl Subramanium decided to go public with the letter withdrawing consent for judgeship.

CJI further said he had asked Subramanium to reconsider his decision but got a 30-word letter from him saying he was no more interested in judgeship.
