New Delhi, Apr 20 Opposition parties led by the Congress today met Vice President and Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu and gave over a notice for impeachment of Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra.
As indicated by sources, more than 60 MPs of the Rajya Sabha having a place with seven political gatherings gave the notice for the impeachment against the CJI.
The MPs who signed the notice belong to the Congress, the NCP, the CPI-M and CPI, the SP and the BSP.
The leaders of these parties earlier met in Parliament and gave final shape to the notice for impeachment.
After the meeting, Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad confirmed that the leaders were moving the notice for impeachment against CJI.
Among those who attended the meeting in Parliament were Congress pioneers Azad, Kapil Sibal and Randeep Surjewala, other than CPI's D Raja and NCP's Vandana Chavan.
Sources said the Trinamool Congress and the DMK, which were at first for the indictment against the CJI, are not any more piece of it.
The impeachment notice comes a day after the Supreme Court rejected a group of petitions seeking an independent probe into the demise of Judge B H Loya, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheik encounter case.
The SC judgement was conveyed by a bench headed by the Chief Justice of India.
An impeachment motion in the Rajya Sabha has to be supported by at least 50 MPs of the Upper House, while the number of MPs supporting such a movement in the Lok Sabha is 100.
Once the notice for indictment is submitted to the Rajya Sabha director, he will learn whether there is legitimacy or ground for moving such a movement.
In the event that he discovers justify, at that point he may frame a panel to investigate it, else he can dismiss it.
If moved, this will be the first time ever in the nation's history that an impeachment would be moved against the Chief Justice of India.
