দেশৰ প্ৰাক্তন মুখ্য ন্যায়াধীশ ৰঞ্জন গগৈয়ে আত্মজীৱনীত প্ৰয়াত পিতৃ তৰুণ গগৈৰ বিষয়ে কৰা মন্তব্যক লৈ পুনৰ সমালোচনা কৰিছে তৰুণ গগৈ পুত্ৰ সাংসদ গৌৰৱ গগৈয়ে। সাংসদগৰাকীয়ে কয় যে, ‘মোৰ পিতৃ জীৱিত থাকোঁতে প্ৰকাশ কৰিব লাগিছিল গ্ৰন্থখন’।
তদুপৰি প্ৰাক্তন ন্যায়াধীশগৰাকীৰ ৰায়ৰ নিৰপেক্ষতা সম্পৰ্কেও প্ৰশ্ন তুলিছে গৌৰৱ গগৈয়ে। উল্লেখ্য যে, উক্ত গ্ৰন্থখনত প্ৰাক্তন ন্যায়াধীশ ৰঞ্জন গগৈয়ে এইখিনি কথা লিখা বাবেই এই বিতৰ্কৰ সূত্ৰপাত হয়- “My mother, who was otherwise fit, mentioned the matter to me and asked whether she should undertake the journey. I told her, in good faith, that it is an honour to be invited by the CM and she must not refuse. She, therefore, bought a ticket and came to Guwahati and met the CM at his official residence the next day. During the course of the meeting, to her utter shock, the CM requested her to speak to me to secure a favourable order in the ‘constables’ case’, namely, that the selection and appointment of constables in all districts must be upheld.”
Perhaps noticing her discomfiture, Gogoi reportedly told her that though he personally valued judicial independence, it was at the instance of ‘young boys’ (young ministers holding positions and portfolios of importance) that he had been compelled to speak to her on the issue. My mother left the chief minister’s residence, telling him that she had no control over me in official matters and that she would not comply with the request. When she informed me about what had transpired, I was disappointed as I had held the position concerned in very high esteem.”
