Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra today met for 15 minutes the four most senior Supreme Court (SC) judges who called him out last week for alleged irregularities in how he assigns cases. Sources said the meeting was also attended by Justice A K Sikri and two other judges. They also said this is probably the first step towards making efforts to resolve the distrust between the CJI and four judges. This brief meeting today occurred even as Attorney General KK Venugopal backtracked from his statement of yesterday, to say that the issues the judges have are still to be resolved.
