It started when SG Mehta claimed that the CJI is planning to write a romantic novel in Telugu.
“From reliable sources I have gathered information which I will make public. CJI Ramana is passionate about Telugu literature and he is contemplating writing a romantic novel in Telegu. I do not know what inspired him to do this,” the SG said in his speech.
When it was the CJI’s turn to speak, he refuted the claim that he is planning to write a romantic novel and said in lighter vein that the claim is as incorrect as Intelligence Bureau (IB) reports.
He was taking a dig at the fact that IB reports on judges are many times cited when the question of their elevation or transfer comes up and some of them have been alleged to be false.
“Like your Intelligence Bureau reports, I want to say that the information that I will write a romantic novel in Telugu is not correct,” the CJI said in lighter vein.
However, he did concede that he might “write something”.
“I may write something on literature, if at all,” he said.
CJI Ramana retired from office on Friday after serving at the bench for 22 years of which the final the 8 years were at the Supreme Court.
