Justice Ranjan Gogoi who was a part of the press meet is the man who is in line to become the next CJI in October 2018, succeeding Justice Misra, as the senior-most judge of the Court. Now, the question is whether Assam-born Gogoi has jeopardised his chances of becoming the first CJI from the Northeast region. By doing so, Gogoi, in a way, has hurt his own career, fear several legal experts. On Twitter, several social media users have hailed Justice Gogoi for taking part in the "revolt" to protect the integrity of judiciary and democracy in general.
