56 Ex-Judges Support Madras HC Judge Against Impeachment
Fifty-six former judges, including notable ex-Supreme Court justices, have expressed solidarity with Madras High Court Judge G R Swaminathan, urging Parliament to withdraw impeachment proceedings against him. They argue that the move undermines judicial independence and pressures judges to conform to political expectations. The impeachment notice was prompted by Justice Swaminathan’s ruling on a temple ritual, which critics claim is a misuse of the impeachment process. The ex-judges warn that such actions threaten the integrity of the judiciary and democracy.
