If you missed The Indian Express today morning, here is what was worth reading.

The lead story is about Gujarat High Court Chief Justice Bhaskar Bhattacharya’s complain that Chief Justice of India Altamas Kabir blcocked his elevation to the Supreme Court earlier this year because, as a member of the collegium of the Calcutta High Court , he had opposed the appointment of Chief Justice of India Kabir’s lawyer sister Shukla Kabir Sinha to the bench, a decision he said was tantamount to “rape” of the court. The story Indian Express has published is based on Jusice Bhattacharya’s 10-page letter to the President of India, Prime Minister and Chief Justice of India. Read the report
