Raja to influence a high court judge.Balakrishnan pointed out that a report of former high court chief justice Gokhale, who is now a Supreme Court judge, did not mention any name.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was no question of suppressing the report of the Chief Justice of the Madras High Court,\u201d Balakrishnan said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am certain that in the report received from the Chief Justice of Madras High Court, no name of the union minister was mentioned, and that there was no case that any minister himself (had a) telephonic talk with the judge or threatened or influenced him,\u201d the former chief justice of India said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo action could have been taken based on that report of the Chief Justice of the Madras High Court,\u201d said Balakrishnan in the statement.<\/p>\n<p>He referred to media reports, following a release issued Tuesday by Justice Gokhale, which appeared to suggest that he suppressed facts to save somebody.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Gokhale in his statement took on Balakrishnan after the latter claimed he did not know about an alleged bid by Raja, through a lawyer, to influence Justice R. Reghupati of the high court into giving bail to two friends.<\/p>\n<p>In the letter dated Aug 8, 2009, made public by Balakrishnan, Justice Gokhale wrote: \u201cNow as can be seen from the letter of the learned judge, he has clearly stated that the minister did not speak to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the judge has \u201cin clear terms, stated that the advocate did try to exert pressure on him,\u201d Justice Gokhale wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Reghupati had earlier claimed that advocate K. Chandramohan tried to influence him to issue a bail order by telling him that the two applicants were family friends of Raja.<\/p>\n<p>Chandramohan even tried to make Justice Reghupati speak to Raja on his mobile phone. The judge declined to take the call.<\/p>\n<p>On Dec 7 this year, the high court suspended Chandramohan from functioning as president of the Bar Council of Madras.<\/p>\n<p>The judicial controversy came out in the open after Raja quit as central minister following allegations that he sold second generation airwaves at below the market rate, causing huge losses to the national exchequer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Releasing a letter former Madras High Court chief justice H.L.
