Justice Sikri wants row to 'die'; senior lawyers say unfair to target him

Justice A K Sikri of the Supreme Court on Monday said that he wants the controversy over his proposed post-retirement assignment and nomination on the PM-led panel which removed Alok Verma as CBI chief to "die". Former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi slammed some "activist-lawyers" who had used social media to allegedly "malign" the judge.
