NEW DELHI: Four most senior judges of the Supreme Court who revolted against the Chief Justice of India (CJI) on Monday returned to the court and the Bar Council of India (BCI) declared that the problems within the court has been sorted out.

However, it is understood that the case about the mysterious death of CBI judge BH Loya has been assigned to a bench headed by a comparatively junior Justice Arun Kumar Misra on Tuesday. The revolting judges had objected to the allocation as the case has political implications.

BCI chairman Manan Kumar Misra said at a media conference: “All four senior most judges have resolved the differences and are attending the court. There is no need of any action on these four judges; all of them are honest and men of integrity.” “The story is now over,” Misra said, adding “we don’t want any political party to take advantage of the situation. It’s an internal matter, it’s over.” He said its members have met 15 judges of the Supreme Court following the crisis in the apex judiciary and they have assured that the issues have been resolved.

“Everyone is discharging their duties and everything has been resolved as the Attorney General has also said.” Attorney General KK Venugopal called it a “storm in a tea cup.” He said: “Now everything has been settled. The courts are functioning.” The four judges — Justices J Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, Madan B. Lokur and Kurian Joseph — took up their respective business on the first working day of the top court after they opened up before the media on Friday. They met over tea in the morning before proceeding to resume duties.

The BCI chief said it’s a political agenda to drag in the death of Justice Loya into the whole thing. “Why drag the Judge Loya case into this? As you can see, Judge Loya’s family has said that they do not have any doubts on the matter,” Misra said.

The family of Justice BH Loya on Sunday said the death of the special CBI judge, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh “fake encounter” case, was being politicised and urged all parties to refrain from taking advantage of the situation.

Justice Loya’s son Anuj said he did not have any doubts about the way his father died three years ago. “I had an emotional turmoil, hence I had suspicions about his death. But now we don’t have any doubts about the way he died,” he told the media.
