Sibal also revealed plans to initiate an impeachment motion against the judge, with support from leaders like Digvijaya Singh, Vivek Tankha, Javed Ali, Mohan Jha, and the CPI(M) party.

Allahabad: In response to controversial remarks made by Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav of the Allahabad High Court at a Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) event, Rajya Sabha MP and senior lawyer Kapil Sibal expressed serious concerns, describing the comments as divisive and unbefitting of someone tasked with upholding the Constitution.

Sibal noted that even politicians avoid making such statements and questioned the appointment of a judge who could express such views.

He remarked, “How can someone dare to make such statements? This trend has persisted over the past decade, with individuals making controversial remarks, resigning, joining the BJP, and later becoming Rajya Sabha members.”

Sibal urged the Supreme Court to take strict action against Justice Yadav, including barring him from presiding over cases.

Sibal also revealed plans to initiate an impeachment motion against the judge, with support from leaders like Digvijaya Singh, Vivek Tankha, Javed Ali, Mohan Jha, and the CPI(M) party.

Stressing the importance of judicial independence, he stated, “There is no alternative left for those who believe in the judiciary’s independence.”

He called on members across party lines, including the Prime Minister and the Home Minister, to back the motion, emphasizing that the judiciary must remain impartial and free from bias.

Sibal warned, “If they do not support us, it will send a message that they stand with the judge.”

Who Is Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav 

Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav of the Allahabad High Court sparked controversy on Sunday after delivering a speech at an event organized by the legal cell of the Hindu right-wing group Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).

In his address on the Uniform Civil Code, he made contentious remarks asserting that India would operate according to the wishes of the majority population.

“I have no hesitation in saying that this is Hindustan, and this country will function according to the majority living here. This is the law. It is not about speaking as a High Court Judge; the law follows the majority,” Justice Yadav said. He likened the situation to a family or society, where only the welfare of the majority will be accepted.

His speech also included derogatory remarks, including the term “kathmullah” to describe extremists, suggesting the country should remain cautious about them.
