Cong MPs withdrew plea challenging rejection of notice on impeachment against the CJI by Vice President Venkaiah Naidu.
Supreme Court of India
New Delhi: In a surprising and unprecedented development on Tuesday, the Supreme Court, without going into the merits, “dismissed as withdrawn” the writ petition filed by two Congress MPs challenging the order of Rajya Sabha chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu refusing to admit the impeachment motion against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra.
Attorney-general K.K Venugopal said, “This petition has been filed only by two MPs from the Congress. So I will presume six other political parties have accepted the vice-president’s decision. This petition is not maintainable at all.”
