Srinagar MP plans impeachment motion against High Court judge

by

Srinagar: Ruhullah Mehdi, the Lok Sabha MP from Srinagar, on Tuesday said that he is moving an impeachment motion in Parliament for the removal of justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav, a Judge in the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad for his anti-Muslim remarks and supporting a particular ideology and political party.

Ruhullah has invoked Article 124(4) of the Constitution for the removal of justice Yadav, seeking signatures of 100 members of the Parliament to move the motion.

The Lok Sabha member from National Conference said that more than seven members, including AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi, Rajkumar Roat from Rajasthan, Sudama Prasad from Bihar, Mohibbullah and Ziau Rahman from UP, have already signed the motion.

Mehdi has also held deliberations with members of Congress, Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress and DMK, who have assured support for the motion and will sign it as well after consultation with their respective party leadership. “I am hopeful that they will support this motion because these are the parties who believe in the idea of India and its principles and values,” the Srinagar MP said.

In his motion, Mehdi mentions that the statements of justice Yadav and his actions constitute violation of foundational principles of judicial conduct and constitutional mandate.
