CJI Misra ‘misused position’, only impeachment can save Constitution, says Opposition


Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Apr 20, 2018 : In an unprecedented step, Congress and six other opposition parties on Friday moved a notice for the impeachment of Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, accusing him of five counts of “misbehaviour” and “misusing” authority.

 

CJI 20


The opposition parties met Vice President and Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu and handed over a notice for the impeachment of the Chief Justice of India (CJI) with signatures of 64 MPs of the Upper House.

No Chief Justice has ever been impeached in India and any decision on the notice by the Opposition parties against the CJI is likely to be taken by the Vice President following legal consultations.

The move is significant as it comes a day after the Supreme Court ruled out an independent probe into the death of CBI Special Judge Brijmohan Harikishan Loya.

While the Congress, CPM, CPI, NCP, SP and BSP have signed the notice, the Trinamool Congress and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam  were not among the signatories.
