As you know the CJI was given a clean chit, on Monday, 5 May, by the in-house inquiry panel headed by Justice Bobde. In its report, the panel wrote that there was “no substance” in the allegations but also that the findings wouldn’t be made public but can only be submitted to the CJI as per the law.
