Justice Gogoi's Remarks To NDTV Result In Privilege Motion Against Him

Justice Gogoi was responding to a question on his poor attendance since his nomination to the Rajya Sabha.

Former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi's comments in an interview to NDTV have resulted in a privilege motion in parliament against him.

"I go to the Rajya Sabha whenever I feel like it," Justice Gogoi had told NDTV in the interview focused on his memoir "Justice for the Judge".

Justice Gogoi's statements are in contempt of the Rajya Sabha, undermine the dignity of the house and constitute breach of privilege, a notice submitted by the Trinamool Congress said today.

The notice also highlighted the controversial excerpts.
