Will go to root of lawyer's allegation of people trying to frame CJI: SC

Three-judge Bench to continue hearing lawyers' claims on Wednesday, asks him to file additional affidavit with more details about evidence against people

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it would go to the root of the claims, made by lawyer Utsav Bains, that he had been approached by some people to “fix” the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice Ranjan Gogoi by making false claims of sexual harassment against him.

“We will inquire. We will go to the root of alleged claims of fixers at work and manipulating judiciary. If they continue to work…none of us will survive. Fixing has no role to play in the system. We take it to the logical end" the three-judge Bench of Justices Arun Mishra, Rohinton
