The rift between the Chief Justice of India, Dipak Misra, and the four Supreme Court judges who took him on publicly, has been settled in an informal meeting over tea, Attorney General KK Venugopal said today, commenting that "the storm in a tea-cup had been solved". The five top judges reportedly spoke after all staff was ordered out of a lounge where judges chat before going to court every day. Later, the Chief Justice "smiled but didn't answer" when the rebellion of Justices Jasti Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, Madan Lokur and Kurien Joseph was raised in his courtroom.
