In a first-time move, the four senior-most judges of the Supreme Court broke ranks and publicly questioned the leadership of Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra.

The four judges, J. Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, Madan B. Lokur and Kurian Joseph, alleged that the chief justice was not following established precedents in an allocation of cases among the judges. Consequently, they argued, this was “adversely” affecting the justice delivery system.
