Impeachment motion against Dinakaran New Delhi, December 17 Rajya Sabha secretariat sources said due process would be set in motion with Ansari accepting the notice. The Chairman is now expected to constitute a three-member committee comprising a Supreme Court judge, a high court chief justice and a jurist to examine the notice and give its views before the impeachment process is carried forward. The first step for initiating impeachment against Dinakaran, who has stayed away from judicial work, was taken on Monday by a group of 75 members of the Rajya Sabha, who presented a petition to Ansari. The MPs belonging to the BJP, Left parties, the Samajwadi Party, the Janata Dal (United), the Akali Dal and the AIADMK submitted the petition to Ansari seeking impeachment of Justice Dinakaran. Dinakaran has denied the allegations and claimed these were "without any substance or basis". — PTI
Won’t quit, he says New Delhi, December 17 “Where is the question of stepping down,” Justice Dinakaran counter-questioned in an interview to Times Now news channel while responding to a query on whether he would quit in the wake of the move for impeachment. Maintaining that no conclusion could be drawn from the move as it was not an end in itself; he said it was an unfortunate situation because all the facts available on record had not been taken into consideration. Late last evening, the HC registry had issued a notification stating that Justice Dinakaran would not perform judicial functions until further notice.
