Wrote to judges for inquiry panel of ex-SC judges on allegations against CJI: AG

Attorney General K K Venugopal Friday said he had written to all the Supreme Court judges for setting up of a committee of three former apex court judges to look into sexual harassment allegations against CJI Ranjan Gogoi, before the in-house panel was constituted.

Clarifying his position on reported differences with the government on the issue and that he was contemplating resigning, Venugopal told PTI: "The report in the 'Wire' is wholly incorrect except for the fact that I wrote a letter and clarified it."
