New Delhi: Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday said his decision to reject the impeachment motion against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra was “timely and not a hasty one” and came after over a month of due diligence, according to sources.
“Freedom of expression allows that but ultimately truth prevails. I have done the just thing in the best possible manner expected of me,” sources quoted Naidu as saying, a day after he rejected the impeachment motion.
He said his decision was in strict conformity with the provisions of the Constitution and the Judges Inquiry Act of 1968.
“I have done my job and am satisfied with it,” Naidu was quoted as telling a group of 10 Supreme Court lawyers who met him to compliment him over the decision.
