Kejriwal, Somnath Bharti meet Delhi High Court CJ
9 Jan 2014 6:08 AM IST
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and law minister Somnath Bharti on Wednesday held a ‘courtesy meeting’ with Justice NV Ramana, Chief Justice of the Delhi HC, at his residence.
The sources said: ‘It was a formal courtesy meeting which is held every time a new chief minister takes oath. The meeting lasted for about 20 minutes.’ They, however, refused to give details.
Bharti has already been under fire after he called a meeting of all district judges in Delhi, and principal secretary (Law) AS Yadav, a district judge on deputation to the Delhi government, even shot off a letter to the Delhi High Court in this regard.
Yadav rejected Bharti’s proposal of judges’ meeting, expressing his inability to convene a meeting of all Delhi court judges at the state secretariat.
Yadav told the minister that the judiciary is independent of the executive and only the Delhi High Court can summon a meeting of judges.
