New Delhi, January 06: A plea was made in the Supreme Court today for production of correspondence between ex-CJI K G Balakrishnan, sitting judge H L Gokhale and then Madras High Court judge R Reghupathi who had alleged that former Telecom Minister A Raja attempted to influence him in a criminal case.
The counter affidavit filed by Madras-based advocate Elephant Rajendran also sought contempt proceedings against lawyer K Chandramohan for allegedly misleading the apex court in an affidavit that he had tendered an apology to the judge after the incident.
The apex court on December 15 while staying the Madras High Court order suspending Chandramohan from chairmanship of the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry and initiation of disciplinary action had asked Rajenderan to file a counter affidavit.
