BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra, who led a seven-member delegation and held hectic parleys with 15 judges including the CJI yesterday, said the controversial issues flagged by the four revolting judges were "internal issues of the family" which have been resolved internally.
"Kahani khatam ho gayi (the story is over now)", he said even as he cautioned political parties and their leaders not to take undue mileage from the January 12 press conference by the four judges to raise problems, including the assigning of cases, saying the matter should not be politicised. "We met around 15 judges yesterday and all of them said that BCI has done a very good job and this mediation was required. They have now resolved the issue."
