Judge vs Judge Over Amit Shah's 'Salwa Judum' Barb At Opposition Veep Pick
Fifty retired judges have expressed "strong disagreement" with 18 colleagues' gently calling out Amit Shah for making 'supporting Naxalism' allegations at retired Supreme Court judge Justice B Sudershan Reddy, the opposition nominee for next month's vice presidential election.
In a letter released Tuesday afternoon the 50 judges - whose ranks include two ex-Chief Justices of India, P Sathasivam and Ranjan Gogoi, and former Chief Justices of the Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi, Bombay, and Kerala High Courts - said the remarks from the 18 were part of a "predictable pattern... to cloak political partisanship under language of judicial independence".
