The Vice-President of India has to decide about the motion of Impeachment against Mr.Deepak Misra, Chief Justice of India. The Request for impeachment motion has been signed by sufficient number of MPs. Now the Parliament has to decide about fate of impeachment against CJI.
What are all the charges against Chief Justice of India?
There are five charges leveled against Chief Justice Deepak Misra. They are,
CHARGE NO. 1
The facts and circumstances relating to the Prasad Education Trust case, show prima facie evidence suggesting that Chief Justice Dipak Misra may have been involved in the conspiracy of paying illegal gratification in the case, which at least warrants a thorough investigation.
CHARGE NO. 2
That the Chief Justice Dipak Misra dealt on the administrative as well as judicial side, with a writ petition which sought an investigation into a matter in which he too was likely to fall within the scope of investigation since he had presided over every bench which had dealt with this case and passed orders in the case of Prasad Education Trust, and thus violated the first principle of the Code of Conduct for judges.
CHARGE NO. 3
That the Chief Justice Dipak Misra appears to have antedated an administrative order dated 6th November 2017 which amounts to a serious act of forgery/fabrication
That on 9th November 2017 while the hearing of a writ petition no. 176/2017, Kamini Jaiswal v. UOI 86Arir was in progress before Court no. 2, the registrar brought an administrative note to the court which was thereafter ordered to be annexed to the order passed by the court on 9th November 2017. This note is purportedly dated 6th November 2017 but appears to be antedated and appears to have been prepared and issued on 9th November 2017 itself.
CHARGE NO. 4
That Chief Justice Dipak Misra acquired land while he was an advocate, by giving an affidavit that was found to be false and despite the orders of the ADM canceling the allotment in 1985, surrendered the said land only in 2012 after he was elevated to the Supreme Court.
CHARGE NO. 5
That Chief Justice Dipak Misra has abused his administrative authority as master of roster to arbitrarily assign individual cases of particular advocates in important politically sensitive cases, to select judges in order to achieve a predetermined outcome.
