Oppn submits notice in RS to impeach HC judge

Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal, who is a signatory of the notice, said that judges who disrespect the Constitution after taking an oath should be removed from their post.

"We have given a notice to the Rajya Sabha secretary general to impeach Allahabad high court judge, Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav. He had given an inflammatory speech on December 8 at the high court premises. When any judge is appointed, he takes an oath to protect the Constitution, and if a judge after taking the oath to protect the Constitution disrespects it and disregards that oath, then we believe that such a judge should not be allowed to hold that post and he should be removed," he said.
