the timing of my statement. What happened was that some Tamilians had commented on Facebook that I am posting several matters on my Facebook post, so I should also post some of my experiences in Madras high court. “Then I started posting about my experiences there, and it was at this time I remembered this experience too, and posted it,” he said. Katju asked, “Is it, or is it not, correct that after that recommendation of the 3-Judge Collegium of the Supreme Court was sent to the Government of India, he (Justice Lahoti), on his own, without consulting his 2 other Supreme Court Collegium colleagues, wrote a letter to the Government of India asking the government to give another 1 year term as additional judge to the concerned judge?” The allegation on how an unnamed additional judge of Madras high court was given extension at the instance of UPA-I government owing to pressure from an ally, a “Tamil Nadu party”, apparently DMK, and then confirmed as a permanent judge led to an uproar in Parliament by AIADMK MPs even as questions were raised by parties like Congress on its timing.
