Ruling in favor of the government and getting compensation in return

Gogoi knew he was going to get something, but more surprised that this would happen so soon

Ahmedabad. March 17, 2020, Tuesday

It's been just four months since retiring as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, President Kovind announced that he would nominate him to the Rajya Sabha, and the highly respected and senior retired judges of the country, who accepted Gogoi, have strongly criticized his decision to move to the Rajya Sabha. Their decision is also seen as a death knell on the judiciary. Take a look at this bitter criticism.

Retired Justice Kurian Joseph: I am very surprised at Justice Gogoi's decision to join the Rajya Sabha. Gogoi publicly criticized the government's attempt to dominate the justice system by holding a joint press conference with us. Gogoi was like a torch to keep the justice system away from Parliament. He was vocal in advocating that no one should influence the judiciary. It is unclear why they are suddenly reconciling their theories.

Justice Gogoi, Justice Chelameswar, Justice Lokur I raised the issue for the first time in the history of Azad India that the foundation of the judiciary held a joint press conference. Citizens of the country will be skeptical of the judiciary and the justice giver. Gogoi's decision that the judicial system has made the biggest contribution to the constitution of India will lose credibility.

Retired Justice A.P. Shah: I was shocked about the government's offer and nomination of retired Justice Gogoi to nominate him in Rajya Sabha, but then I got an idea what the citizens of India would think after the incident. What message will they get? Yes, the message will go that if you give the ruling government wants, you will be appreciated by them. If you do not do so, you will be treated badly, you will be replaced or you will not be promoted. I believe that both the authorities and the judiciary are free and separate in their ways.

Retired Justice Madan Lokur: Until recently, there was speculation in the judiciary circle that Justice Gogoi should get a political coup with a nobility. That way, it is not surprising that Justice Gogoi gets a nomination in the Rajya Sabha, but I am more surprised that he will be welcomed by the government soon. With this phenomenon now deciding that all India's judiciary, its transparency, independence and its integrity will be rediscovered, it becomes a question whether the fortress of justice system has been destroyed.

Sitaram Yechury: This is Ranjan Gogoi, who made a comment during his Chief Justice's tenure that the government offers and positions he accepts after the retirement of the judges are a stigma on the credibility of the judiciary.

Senior Advocate Gautam Bhatia: Now the independent judiciary has officially died.

Senior Advocate Dushyant Dave: This is a barely visible government prize. It is a mind-blowing event that gives a lot of fury. The justice system has collapsed.

Retired Chief Justice Gogoi's ruling: Advantage NDA
