India-TINS

The Opposition has been working for a consensus on the impeachment motion against CJI Dipak Misra.New Delhi:  The public discussion on impeachment of judges is very "unfortunate", the Supreme Court said today, seeking the government's top law officer's views on banning media from reporting on the impeachment process against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra.The court's observation came in response to a petition that sought that the media be stopped from reporting on the issue.

The petition was filed by a Pune-based lawyers' organization.

The case will be heard next on May 7.The opposition has been trying to form a broad consensus on the impeachment, since the CPM floated the idea in January.

The matter may come up for discussion in parliament today during an opposition meeting to discuss the political fallout of the top court's judgment in the BH Loya case."We are all very disturbed about it," the court said, referring to politicians' statements against the judiciary.

The court, however, turned down the petitioners' request to place an interim ban, saying it would wait for the Attorney General's response.Yesterday, the Congress had signalled its disappointment with the verdict in the Loya case, calling it a "sad letter day in India's history" and claiming "there are still questions before those who believe in the judiciary".The top court had turned down the petitions requesting a special investigation into the death of judge Loya in 2014.

The judge was handling a murder case at the time in which BJP chief Amit Shah was an accused.  The bench led by Chief Justice Misra questioned the motive of the petitioners, saying political rivalries should be settled in a democratic manner, not in courts.
