Supreme Court calls security amid heated exchange in plea against former CJI Ranjan Gogoi

The Supreme Court on Tuesday was witness to a heated exchange between the Bench and an advocate who sought an inquiry against the former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi [Arun Ramchandra Hublikar Vs. Justice Ranjan Gogoi]..The Bench of Justice Bela M Trivedi and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma refused to entertain the plea and eventually ordered security to remove the petitioner, Arun Ramchandra Hublikar, out of the courtroom."We are going to put an end to this. So many applications one after the other," the Court said, before dismissing the plea. .Hublikar had sought an in-house inquiry against Justice Gogoi, who has since retired, for dismissing a plea related to a service dispute."I completed my LLB and LLM . Justice Gogoi unwarrantedly interfered in a judgment. He has made my life miserable by interfering in order passed in my favour regarding my illegal termination," he submitted before the Court today.The Court, however, was not inclined to entertain the plea. "We are going to impose cost. Don't take any name of the judge. There is nothing in your case," the Bench said. "Nothing? How can it be said? It is injustice against me. At least I should get justice before my death," Hublikar replied..However, the Court reiterated its intention to dismiss the plea. "Sorry, we cannot interfere. Your all petitions are dismissed.""How can you say sorry? This Court has made my life miserable," a furious Hublikar retorted.At this stage, Justice Trivedi asked security to be called in for escorting Hublikar out of the courtroom."Call security. Don't compel us to take action against you. If you speak a single word, you are out," the Bench warned. However, Hublikar refused to relent."Madam you are doing injustice against me. What is the problem in issuing notice against the complainant?" he asked. The Court then said,"Security please take him out. We are calling security.".Amid the heated exchange, Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra - who was present in the courtroom - tried to reason with Hublikar and inform him that his case has already been dismissed. "Kyun dismiss kiya inhune, aise kaise kar sakti hai ye (Why did they dismiss, how can she do this)?" Hublikar was heard asking Luthra in response. Hublikar was then taken out of the courtroom by security. .Last month, Hublikar had faced the ire of another Bench of the top court. "How can you file a PIL with judge as a respondent?" the Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud had asked him at the time, while questioning how Justice Gogoi had been made a party to the case. .Justice Gogoi presently is a member of the Rajya Sabha. He retired from the Supreme Court in November 2019. .[Read live coverage]
