India Supreme Court judges: Democracy is in danger (12 Jan 2018)
"Four of India's most senior Supreme Court judges have publicly challenged the authority of the head of the judiciary - in an unprecedented move.
In a letter and a press conference, the judges said Chief Justice Dipak Misra was assigning cases to benches of his preference, breaching court rules.
Democracy would not survive in India unless the court's regulations were followed, they added.
This is the first time Supreme Court judges have ever addressed the media."
