Over 50 ex-judges slam MPs move to remove Madras High Court judge

Over 50 former judges, including retired Supreme Court judges, opposed MPs' notice to remove Madras High Court judge GR Swaminathan for his judgement in Karthigai Deepam lamp-lighting case. "The purpose of impeachment is to uphold judicial integrity...not to convert it into tool of arm-twisting," letter said. They warned that targeting him over this issue threatens judicial independence.
