Impeachment motion lacked substance as it was politically motivated, says Subhash Kashyap

In a major blow to Opposition, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu on Monday rejected the impeachment motion against Chief Justice Dipak Misra, citing “technical” reasons.

As per VP Naidu, 7 of 71 signatures were by Members of Parliament (MPs) who have already retired.

Seven political parties, including Congress on Saturday approached Rajya Sabha Chairman, seeking impeachment of CJI. This came a day after Supreme Court rejected CBI probe and formation of SIT in special Judge HC Loya’s death case.

By rejecting opposition’s plea, SC held that Judge Loya died a natural death.

The incident came months after four rebel Judges of the apex court held a press conference against the CJI, citing “partial allocation of cases” as reason.
