New Delhi: Retired Supreme Court judge Justice A K Ganguly has hit back at former Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee over the scrapping of the 2G licences.
Reacting to the charges of judicial overreach levelled by Chatterjee, Justice Ganguly said he was disappointed at the “logic of the criticism of the 2G case”.
He said, "I can assure Mr Chatterjee on behalf of the bench that the judgement was not out of any desire to appropriate executive powers. I am a little disappointed at the logic of his criticism of the 2G case."
Earlier, reacting to the apex court ruling of scrapping all the 2G licences allotted in 2008, Chatterjee had said that the Supreme Court could not lay down policies.
"Issues are being decided on the basis of politics, not on the merit of the cases. The politics is so confrontational now. Everything is being opposed by this group or that group."
"I am not saying anything. It should not enter into the rightness or wrongness of policy decisions. It is for the government, those who are entrusted with the governance of policy decision, it's for them to do it. SC cannot lay down policies," said Chatterjee.
