50 RS MPs demand Dinakaran’s impeachment

The move by BJP and some other parties to impeach Karnataka High Court Chief Justice P D Dinakaran gathered momentum today with about 50 Rajya Sabha MPs supporting the action.<br/><br/>Rajya Sabha members from BJP, Left parties and Samajwadi Party among others, have reportedly signed for moving of an impeachment motion against Dinakaran, whose elevation as a judge of the Supreme Court has been stalled due to allegations of land grabbing against him.<br/><br/>As per Rajya Sabha rules, if 50 members sign on a demand for a motion, it becomes the property of the House and action has to be taken.<br/><br/>Congress members have reportedly refrained from signing on the document.<br/><br/>Government has already sent back Dinakaran's file to the Supreme Court Collegium to reconsider its decision to elevate him.<br/>
