The Congress recently signed the draft petition move to bring an impeachment motion against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra.
It was reported that the Congress leaders were trying to obtain signatures of Rajya Sabha members belonging to the DMK, Samajwadi Party, NCP and Left parties and also hoped that the Trinamool Congress party chief Mamata Banerjee would support their cause as well.
The petition would reportedly be submitted to Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu. An impeachment motion in the Rajya Sabha requires the signatures of a minimum 50 members of the House.
The draft petition argued that CJI Misra has not effectively addressed the issues flagged by the four senior-most judges of the apex court and that an impeachment motion had become inevitable nearly two months after the incident.
