i. The intern had revealed her name;

ii. There is no reason for your Lordship not to know that I am a retired judge;

iii. There is no reason for your Lordship not to be able to find out that the intern was not on the rolls of the Supreme Court;

iv. For ascertaining the facts at i, ii, iii, a three judge committee is not required to be constituted.

v. No complaint was ever made before Supreme Court or before your lordships in any form by the intern at any time prior to the formation of the judges committee and presumably on a direction by the Committee she gave her statement.

vi. A newspaper report in The Times of India dated 12-11-2013, without any verification, could certainly not have been the basis of a petition by the Learned Attorney General on which your lordship is reported to have acted;

vii. Thus the stated reasons that the committee was set up to find out whether the Judge was a sitting Judge cannot be accepted because the blog expressly disclosed retired judge.

viii. I responded to the request of the Committee to appear before it in good faith, and without questioning its authority but I am sorry to point out that the conduct of the officials of the Court and the proceedings before the Committee were far from appropriate;
