The removal motion was an ill-advised, ill-conceived step on the part of opposition parties. The motion was nothing but a move to embarrass and humiliate the Chief Justice of India (CJI) and, indirectly, the government. Charges against the CJI were based on conjecture and surmise. The charges in the motion used phrases like ‘may be’, ‘appears’ and others. There was not a single thing in the motion which pointed towards an incident of proved misbehaviour on the part of the CJI. Charges must establish an event or incident of proved misbehaviour in the discharge of his duties as a CJI. Ani dog dobbulu pettina Soli Sorabjee | ||

Now, on finding CJI Dipak Misra unbending to their unacceptable requests, be it Loya case or Ayodhya case, the party took shelter behind allegations made in a press conference by senior SC judges led by a disgruntled, ambitious and politician-friendly judge to move a motion for CJI’s removal based on ‘may be’ charges. | ||

Justice Beg was made CJI to make him stay obliged to Congress. Beg was Indira Gandhi’s favourite. When TOI criticised the A D M Jabalpur judgment and blamed Beg, he initiated suo motu contempt against then editor Sham Lal in January 1978, a month before his retirement as CJI. Beg strived to explain that he did not actually rule in favour of Emergency and gave a 28-paragraph judgment [AIR 1978 SC 489] castigating TOI for motivated criticism Beg retired on February 22, 1978, to soon become a director on the board of National Herald group of newspapers. On returning to power in 1980, Congress rained post-retirement assignments on him. In 1988, the Rajiv Gandhi government awarded Padma Vibhushan, the second highest civilian award after Bharat Ratna, to Beg for his contribution to law, a sterling example of which he gave in Jabalpur case. | ||

Ranganath Misra, who was tasked by the Rajiv Gandhi government to inquire into the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi after Indira’s assassination. It was public knowledge that thousands of Sikhs were killed by mobs allegedly led by Congressmen. Yet, Misra could not find any Congressman guilty. He vaguely blamed the police for lapses. As an apt reward, the Congress government made him the first chairman of National Human Rights Commission in October 1993. In 1998, the party elected him to Rajya Sabha. In 2004, the Congress gave him successive chairmanship of National Commission for Religious and Linguistic Minorities and National Commission for SCs and STs. |
