Chennai: Former Supreme Court judge V Ramaswami, who was the first judge in independent India to face removal proceedings, passed away on Saturday at his home in Chennai due to cardiac arrest. He was 96 years old. Justice Ramaswami is survived by three daughters and two sons. One of his sons is an advocate.
The Supreme Court has directed the Uttar Pradesh government to decide within two months on the premature release of gangster Babloo Srivastava, who has served over 28 years in prison for a 1993 murder. The court emphasized considering his plea under Section 473 of the BNSS, 2023, noting his good conduct and long imprisonment, while ensuring compliance with procedural requirements involving the state and central governments.
