“There is nothing to be settled because it is not a dispute,” senior Supreme Court judge Justice J Chelamaswar told BloombergQuint in an exclusive interview, referring to the rift in India’s top court that prompted four senior judges to call an unprecedented press conference on January 12.

“It is a problem and the solution needs to be found. And nothing has been found so far,” Justice Chelameswar said.
