The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a notice to Advocate Utsav Singh Bains to appear on Wednesday with material supporting his stand that he had been approached by people to “fix” the Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi in connection with the sexual harassment allegations against him. A three-judge bench of Justices Arun Mishra, Rohinton Nariman and Deepak Gupta also asked the Delhi Police to provide “adequate police protection” to Bains as he had claimed there was a threat to his life.

Bains had filed an affidavit claiming that he had been approached by certain people to frame CJI Gogoi
