Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi on Monday admitted his “complete perplexity” at a mysterious sleight of hand that altered the contents of an April 30 judicial order concerning the Rafale review hearing. The Monday hearing in the Rafale case also brought back into sharp focus the highest judiciary's lingering doubts about its own staff. Subsequently, only the Rafale review was listed for hearing at 2 p.m. on May 6. A visibly surprised Mr. Bhushan responded that the contempt case was scheduled for May 10 and not May 6. An unamused CJI said the court had ordered both the Rafale review and the Rahul Gandhi contempt cases to be listed together.
