Subramanian Swamy hails VP Naidu's decision to reject CJI impeachment-notice
What's the story
BJP leader Subramanian Swamy today hailed Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu's decision of rejecting the impeachment notice moved by the Congress and seven other opposition parties against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra. Naidu, the Rajya Sabha chairman, rejected the notice citing lack of substantial merit in it. Swamy was among the first few litigants to mention their respective petitions for urgent hearing.

It's a good decision: Swamy said on the rejection
Swamy had mentioned for the urgent hearing of his plea seeking enforcement of his fundamental right to worship at the disputed site at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh. "Anyway, it's a good decision," he said on the rejection of impeachment notice. Senior advocate Harin Raval, who had worked as additional solicitor general during the UPA regime, however, refused to comment on the issue.
