Former Chief Justice Ranjan Gaigei
Former Chief Justice of the country Ranjan Gaigei has said that it is the divine power that has made the decision in the Ayodhya case possible. In his book ‘Justice for the Judge’, he has mentioned many incidents related to the case of Ramjanma Sthal in Ayodhya. Apart from this, he has mentioned many controversial decisions of the collegium and many interesting things as a judge. The verdict in the Ayodhya case came during Justice Gogei’s tenure as the CJI.
A five-judge bench headed by Justice Gogei gave the verdict after hearing arguments of all the parties continuously for 40 days. He has written in the book that this was a great opportunity for the judiciary of India to contribute to the history of humanity. Through this decision, he was expected to arouse a desire in communities around the world to resolve religious conflicts in a peaceful and just manner.
Justice Gogei has said that a lot of efforts were also made to postpone the hearing. While narrating the incident on the last day of the hearing, Gagei has written that in the afternoon he received a slip from the Secretary General of the Supreme Court that a representative of one of the parties in the Ayodhya case is seeking permission to enter the Supreme Court.
He replied to the Secretary General that he should not be allowed to come. This person was trying to come through the Secretary General or the Registry, I did not like his intentions. He wanted to obstruct the hearing. Had he been allowed to do so, perhaps the hearing would have been adjourned.
I was wrong to join the bench in sexual harassment case
The former CJI said that ‘in April 2019, there was an allegation of sexual harassment against me. Then I should not have joined the panel hearing the charges against me as a judge. We all make mistakes, there is no harm in admitting it. My career was being tarnished for four and a half decades, so I also made this mistake.
