No judge of a constitutional court has been successfully impeached by Parliament in independent India's history. Impeachment motions have been brought before Parliament seven times and in two cases, the judges in question have resigned, with one of them resigning even before impeachment proceedings were set in motion on the floor of the House.
The motion for impeachment is being moved both in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha and the process of collecting signatures is currently underway. As per the rules for an impeachment motion to be considered for admission in the Rajya Sabha, the signatures of at least 50 lawmakers are needed. In the Lok Sabha, this number is 100. The Opposition effort has already garnered around 38 signatures in the Rajya Sabha and around 50 in the Lok Sabha, said people aware of developments.
