The day Gautam gave clean chit to Rana, the SC administration sent a letter to him asking him to justify his authority to do so.On Friday, the constitutional bench stayed Gautam's clean chit to Rana who was suspended as chief justice on February 13 when 98 lawmakers from the ruling coalition filed an impeachment motion against him in the Parliament.The bench had asked defendants to furnish their written replies within seven days.The Impeachment Recommendation Committee, which investigated allegations of impeachment against Rana, had submitted a report saying that the new HoR should take up the case.
