Why PM Modi asked CJI to take him to court room no.1? | Master Stroke

PM Narendra Modi took Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi by surprise, and asked to see Court No. 1, over which the CJI presides.

That room is where key cases involving the Union government are to be adjudicated. They include the allegation of corruption in the Rafale deal leveled by former ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie and advocate Prashant Bhushan, and the legality of the midnight coup staged by Modi and his top advisers in the Central Bureau of Investigation in October. The court has reserved judgment on the Rafale issue, and hearings on the CBI matter will conclude soon.
