Chief Justice Misra will demit office on October 2.
Advocate Luthra along with petitioner advocate Satyaveer Sharma sought quashing of the order of the appointment of Justice Gogoi as the Chief Justice from October 3.
The plea sought adjudication of the question of law for which they are relying on the contents of a press conference of January 12 called by four senior judges including Justice Gogoi.
The petition said: “This act of the four senior most judges of the court was not less than a sabotage to the judicial system of the country. They tried to arouse public furore in the country in the names of certain internal differences in this court.”
Justice Gogoi should have been reprimanded for his “illegal and anti-institutional act”, they said.
