Kochi: Rejecting outright the allegation of Justice V Ramkumar against him, Veteran Jurist and former Supreme Court Judge V R Krishna Iyer today said that every one had the freedom to express their views and level any allegations against anybody.
Talking to reporters here, he, however, said ''such statements from him are painful to me as I know him very well.'' Regarding the allegation by Justice Ramkumar that Justice Krishna Iyer had recommended somebody from Bihar to the Supreme Court, he said ''it is a ''blatant lie'' and I have not recommended anybody from Bihar or elsewhere to the Supreme Court. ''On the contrary, I have criticised the collegium of which Justice Balakrishan was the Chairman.'' Stating that he had not made any telephone calls to anybody for any special recommendations, the former Judge said that he used to help all those who required his help and some people got benefit and some did not.
''If anybody wanted to know the truth and facts of call, they can collect my call records to cross check.
Justice Iyer also said all the other allegations, including that he was leading a luxurious life wearing spectacles costing Rs two lakh, were baseless and contradictory to truth.
