The Supreme Court Secretary General's office has denied all the allegations stating the motive behind them was 'obviously mischievous'. Chief Justice Gogoi today stated that he did not want to stoop so low as to even deny such allegations. Chief Justice Gogoi also stated that the allegations seemed demeaning after his having serving selflessly for 20 years.
