The Lingiya Brahmin family had filed a petition in The Supreme Court seeking restoration of the day-to-day religious affairs of Kashi Vishwanath Temple to them

Katju's anger against Gogoi perhaps stems out from a past incident when in 2016, a Supreme Court bench headed by then SC Judge had slapped a contempt notice on retired judge Markandey Katju for his controversial social media posts on sensitive issues.

Ranjan Gogoi said that he was given ample time before taking the decision, and he accepted the offer because of strong conviction

The affidavit was filed after the Supreme Court in January granted the Centre time to respond to the petitions challenging the CAA.

AP Singh urged the NHRC to stay the execution, seek records in the matter and give compensation to the family of Ram Singh.
