Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and G.V. Kharge were denied a meeting with Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, who said he could not spare time.
Congress senior leaders Rahul Gandhi and G.V. Kharge sought an audience with Chief Justice of India Surya Kant to discuss matters of public interest. The request was conveyed through official channels, but the CJI's office responded that he was unable to allocate time for a meeting.
Surya Kant, who heads the apex judicial body, did not provide further justification beyond the scheduling constraint. No alternative date or venue was offered, and the leaders were asked to pursue any issues through existing legal mechanisms.
The refusal underscores the routine separation between the judiciary and political actors, with the CJI maintaining that his docket does not permit additional engagements. No further comment was made by either side as of now.
