New Delhi : Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra is learned to have decided not to recuse himself from administrative and judicial work in the Supreme Court, feeling reassured by the support from a large
number of senior advocates and lawyers who have rallied behind him against the removal motion of Congress-led opposition parties.
SC sources told TOI that CJI Misra maintains that the removal motion against him, based on frivolous allegations, has been propped up for political considerations and to deter him from discharging his duties. They also said that CJI Misra is in no mood to oblige those who have " engineered the dubious pretext " to get him to quit.
K.Parasaran and his son Mohan, the former solicitor general, as well as senior advocate Mahalaxmi Pavani, daughter-in-law of late P.P.Rao, backing him, the CJI, sources said, is feeling vindicated that he has done no wrong. The Parasarans and Pavani felt that Congress acted in a " childish way " in using the motion for removal as a political tool.
