Two Congress MPs approached the Supreme Court challenging Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu's dismissal of the impeachment motion against CJI Dipak Misra.
Two Congress Parliamentarians from Rajya Sabha- Pratap Singh Bajwa and Amee Harshadray Yajnik, on MOnday approached the Supreme Court challenging Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu's dismissal of the impeachment motion against CJI Dipak Misra.
Naidu’s decision met with strong criticism from the Opposition, with the former Law Minister Kapil Sibal terming it as illegal and unconstitutional done in a "tearing hurry".
Referring to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s remark on Opposition’s impeachment notice, Surjewala said that the “revenge petition” has now become “rescue order”.
Naidu said in an order today that he had detailed personal conversation on all the aspects arising from the notice and had considered each of the allegations made in it individually as well as collectively.
The Congress was also trying to build up "moral pressure" on the Chief Justice of India in the hope that he would step aside from judicial duty if an impeachment motion was moved against him.
The vice president cut short his visit to Hyderabad and reached here to hold deliberations over the notice given by the seven opposition parties.
Impeachment motion against CJI Dipak Misra could have been avoided, says Ashwani Kumar.
