New Delhi: Rajya Sabha Chairperson M Venkaiah Naidu on Monday rejected the impeachment notice that the Opposition MPs had submitted against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, Rajya Sabha TV reported.
Naidu had on Sunday consulted constitutional and legal experts on the notice, according to PTI. He had cut short his visit to Telangana to meet the experts in New Delhi, unidentified officials told agencies.
The vice president spoke to former Attorney General K Parasaran, former Lok Sabha Secretary General Subhash Kashyap, former Law Secretary PK Malhotra and Attorney General KK Venugopal, officials told PTI. He also met senior officials of the Rajya Sabha Secretariat.
“The motion presented by the MPs indicates a mere suspicion, conjecture or an assumption in the Prasad Education Trust case,” says the order by Naidu. “The same does not constitute proof beyond a reasonable doubt required to make out a case of proved misbehavior.”
Naidu said the allegations were not admissible. “The allegations emerging from the case have a serious tendency of undermining the independence of the judiciary,” Naidu said.
