Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar stated that only Parliament has the power to decide on the removal of Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav. His remarks came after 55 opposition MPs submitted a notice seeking the judge’s removal over alleged misconduct. He emphasized that such matters must follow constitutional procedures. The issue has sparked political debate, with legal experts closely watching the developments.
The Supreme Court Collegium met with Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav to address his controversial comments at a VHP event, deemed avoidable by the Collegium. His remarks on the Uniform Civil Code ignited public backlash, leading to an impeachment motion by the Opposition and calls for an inquiry into his conduct to uphold judicial integrity.
