Day after RS nomination, ex-CJI Gogoi: Will divulge details to media after taking oath in Rajya Sabha

Former CJI Ranjan Gogoi's nomination came four months after his retirement on
November 17, 2019.

A day after he was nominated to Rajya Sabha by the union government, former
chief justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi on Tuesday said he would soon reveal why
he accepted the nomination to the Upper House.

"I'll go to Delhi probably tomorrow. Let me first take the oath then I will speak in detail Now with 1.5L K-Series Petrol Engine
to the media that why I accepted this and why I am going to Rajya Sabha," Gogoi was Maruti Suzuki Arena Ad
quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

The former CJI's nomination came four months after his retirement on November
17, 2019. Gogoi's tenure as CJI was marred by allegations of sexual harassment
but he was cleared of the charge by an in-house panel before he demitted office.

In a notification issued on Monday, the Ministry of Home Affairs announced his

nomination to Rajya Sabha: “In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-clause (a) of
clause (1) of Article 80 of the Constitution of India, read with clause (3) of that article,

notification said. The vacancy was created following the retirement of K T S Tulsi.

Gogoi is the second CJI to become a member of the Upper House. Former CJI
Ranganath Misra was also nominated to Rajya Sabha by the Congress and served
from 1998 to 2004. Former Supreme Court judge Fathima Beevi was appointed
Governor of Tamil Nadu from 1997-2001. CJI P Sathasivam was also appointed
Governor of Kerala from 2014-2019. While Justice K Subba Rao contested the fourth
