Allahabad HC Judge Faces Impeachment Push Over Controversial Remarks

Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav's statements about majority rule and alleged anti-Muslim comments at a VHP event have prompted political and judicial scrutiny, with the Supreme Court seeking details and opposition MPs initiating impeachment proceedings.

Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav of the Allahabad High Court is under fire for remarks endorsing majoritarian rule and making alleged anti-Muslim statements during a VHP event on December 8.
Opposition MPs, led by National Conference MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, have initiated an impeachment motion, citing violations of judicial impartiality and constitutional values.
The Supreme Court has taken note of the controversy, requesting details from the Allahabad High Court and considering further action against Justice Yadav.
Prominent figures, including lawyer Prashant Bhushan, have called for an in-house inquiry and suspension of Justice Yadav for breaching judicial conduct codes.
This case has reignited concerns about political overreach and the erosion of public trust in judicial independence in India.
