CJI: No meet with Congress, it'll violate 'separation of power'

The Chief Justice of India (CJI) has declined a meeting request from the Congress party, stating that it would violate the 'separation of power'.

The CJI, N.V. Ramana, in a letter to Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, explained that such a meeting could be seen as interference in the judicial process.

The Congress had sought a meeting to discuss the appointment of a new CBI director.
