Four sitting Supreme Court judges, in an unprecedented move, called a press conference and talked about the apex court's house not being in order. One of the judges said, "democracy will not survive". Justice Chelameshwar said the call to the nation was done amid ''extraordinary" circumstances.

Following the conference, Judges J Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, Madan Lokur and Kurian Joseph released a seven-page letter that they wrote to the Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra.
