    Justice Chandrachud in the Gyanvapi Supreme Court Hearing

    Three suggestions on what we could do at this stage.
    • One, we can say let the trial court dispose of the application filed under Order 7 Rule 11.
    • Two, we have passed an interim order, that can continue until the application under Order 7 Rule 11 is disposed.
    • And third thing, in a matter of fair amount of complexity and sensitivity, we are of the view that the suit should be heard by a District Judge.

    We are not casting aspersions on the trial judge. But in a matter like this, a more seasoned hand is better. This will protect the interests of all parties

    Ankiti Bose's statement after her firing by Zilingo

    I have been suspended for the last 51 days on the basis of an anonymous whistle-blower complaint, and today I am informed that my employment has been terminated inter alia on grounds of "insubordination".

    I was suspended on the basis that the Company had instructed Kroll to investigate the complaint.

    I have neither seen the Kroll not Deloitte reports and not been given sufficient time to produce any documents requested by them.

    Any report that comes out post my termination, would be vitiated as it seems to be instructed by conflicted parties and we will pursue our rights against this witch-hunt to the full extent of the law.

    I will be speaking on record shortly with more details about the conflicts of interest in the manner this process was run.
