New Delhi: Chief Justice NV Ramana affirms CBI and other investigation agencies don’t respond when lower court judges complain about life threats. The statement comes after the Apex court took up a recent murder case of the Jharkhand district judge.
Criticizing, the investigation agency Chief Justice said, “They don’t help out at all, when judges complain. CBI has done nothing; it should change its attitude.”
The Chief Justice asserted, there is a custom to slander the judiciary system when favourable orders were not passed in high profile cases.
“In high profile cases of gangster, murders, abusive messages on Whatsapp and Facebook are sent to judges to mentally exasperate them.” said CJI.
Additionally, CJI stated upon judges complaints to the CBI and the intelligence agencies on a threat; they don’t even respond. “Our life is at stake; we need some security of our life.” added.
