In signs of a thaw in the crisis that has grappled the Supreme Court last week, the four dissenting senior judges met Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra Tuesday and held talks over the issues they had raised on Friday, sources said. Sources added that the talks will continue on Wednesday.

The meeting was called by the CJI himself and it will continue on Wednesday after issues raised at today’s meeting remained unresolved, sources added. Attorney General K K Venugopal, earlier today, expressed doubts whether the crisis has been completely resolved and hoped it would soon be “fully settled” in a couple of days. Speaking with PTI, Venugopal said: “Yes, I think it has not been settled. Let’s hope things will be fully settled within 2-3 days.”

On Friday, four senior judges — Justices J Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, Madan B Lokur and Kurian Joseph — questioned CJI Dipak Misra, who is the master of the roster, over the way cases have been assigned. Addressing a press conference at the residence of Justice Chelameswar, the four judges said they have failed to convince the CJI on certain issues concerning the apex court and have since gone public with their demands.
