Justice Chelameswar refuses to hear plea against CJI's power as 'master of roster'
SC judge Chelameswar
Prashant Bhushan then rushed to Chief Justice Dipak Misra's court and mentioned the matter for listing expeditiously.
Supreme Court's senior-most judge, Justice J Chelameswar, on Thursday refused to hear a plea seeking to form guidelines on allocation of cases.
Advocate Prashant Bhushan mentioned the plea filed by his father and former Union law minister Shanti Bhushan before Justice Chelameswar saying this was an emergency situation. The plea, Prashant Bhushan said, challenges the master of roster concept and hence the Chief Justice of India can't deal with it.
"I don't want one more reversal of my order in next 24 hours. This is why I can't do it. Please understand my difficulty," Justice Chelameswar said.
He said the reasons were too obvious and he would not like to deal with the matter.
"Someone is running a relentless tirade against me that I am up to grab something. There is nothing I can do much in this. I am sorry, you please understand my difficulty," Justice Chelameswar told Bhushan.
Prashant Bhushan then rushed to Chief Justice Dipak Misra's court and mentioned the matter for listing expeditiously.

Justice Chelameswar's remarks came in the backdrop of two recent letters written by him and Justice Kurian Joseph over the affairs of the Supreme Court and alleged interference by the executive into judicial matters.
He said today that he had written a letter a few days ago to highlight affairs in the Supreme Court and in the country.
