Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy had claimed that Justice Ramana was working against the elected government in Andhra Pradesh and in favour of the opposition Telugu Desam Party of Chandrababu Naidu.
The Andhra Pradesh government's complaint against Justice NV Ramana was dealt with according to the "in-house procedure" and stands dismissed, the Supreme Court said today, indicating that the matter was investigated internally by judges. Justice Ramana -- the most senior judge in the Supreme Court after the Chief Justice of India -- was named by Justice SA Bobde as his successor this week. Justice Bobde retires on April 23. In a short statement, the Supreme Court today said: "A complaint dated 6th October 2020 sent by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh to the Supreme Court was dealt with under the In-House Procedure and the same, on due consideration, stands dismissed." The court also added that, "It be noted that all matters dealt with under the In-House Procedure being strictly confidential in nature, are not liable to be made public". In his letter, which became public later, Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy had claimed that Justice Ramana was working against the elected government in Andhra Pradesh and in favour of the opposition Telugu Desam Party of Chandrababu Naidu.More Related News
