Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant says he is unable to meet leaders of the INDIA bloc after they requested a meeting. Mint reports that the CJI acknowledges receiving the request and responding, but does not share the reasons for declining. Other outlets similarly state that the meeting does not take place.
The reports mention that the INDIA bloc’s request is linked to allegations of “vote chori,” though details of how the matter is raised in the letter are not consistent across the brief summaries. The divergence in coverage is mainly about what is publicly explained: while one account emphasizes the CJI’s refusal to disclose reasons, another frames the refusal in the context of the bloc’s stated concern over alleged electoral wrongdoing. Across sources, however, the shared point is that the CJI does not proceed with the requested meeting and keeps the rationale unreported.
