IndiaFirst With Gaurav Sawant: 56 Ex-Judges Back Justice Swaminathan Amid DMK’s Impeachment Push

A significant political and judicial conflict is escalating in Tamil Nadu over the Karthigai Deepam festival. This report details the impeachment motion moved by the DMK-led INDIA bloc against Madras High Court Judge, Justice G.R. Swaminathan. The motion, signed by 120 MPs, was initiated after the judge's order to light the ceremonial Deepam at the ‘Deepathoon’ on Thiruparankundram hill, a directive the state government opposed, citing law and order concerns. The DMK defends the impeachment, with spokesperson A. Saravanan claiming the order contradicts a prior division bench judgment. In contrast, the BJP accuses the DMK of an "anti-Sanatan mindset" and "appeasement politics." The legal community has responded, with 56 former judges, including Justice S.N. Dhingra, signing a letter supporting Justice Swaminathan and condemning the impeachment as an unprecedented move against a judge for an unfavorable judgment.
