NEW DELHI: Former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju on Tuesday came down heavily on former CJI Ranjan Gogoi. Lashing out at the Gogoi on his official Twitter page, Katju even went on to address the former CJI as a sexual pervert.

'I have been a lawyer for 20 yrs and a judge for another 20. I have known many good judges & many bad judges. But I have never known any judge in the Indian judiciary as shameless & disgraceful as this sexual pervert Ranjan Gogoi. There was hardly any vice which was not in this man,' Katju's post read.

The remark from the former judge comes just after President Ram Nath Kovind had nominated Ranjan Gogoi to the Rajya Sabha. Gogoi, who had headed the five-judge bench which delivered a landmark judgement in 70-year-old Ayodhya title dispute, had stepped down from his position in November last year.
