HIGH COURT JUDGE TO FACE IMPEACHMENT (महाभियोग) BY PARLIAMENT  

A distinguished Parsi judge of the Gujarat High Court, Justice J B Pardiwala is facing an  impeachment motion  in parliament on an petition by some Members Of  Indian Parliament. Readers should keep in mind that Justice J B Pardiwala comes from one of the smallest minority community of India.

It is important to see why an  impeachment application was filed. This action / initiation of impeachment is seen very rarely. It is also clear that this impeachment motion was filed just to get political benefit and showing themselves supporters of  Reservation.  In fact, in case of  Hardik Patel, Justice J B Pardiwala  commented as under which inspired our some MPs to impeach this great and bold  Justice J B Pardiwala –

” If I am asked by any one to name two things, which has destroyed this country or rather, has not allowed the country, to progress in the right direction, then the same is,

1. Reservation and
2. Corruption.

It is very shameful for any citizen of this country to ask for reservation after 65 years of independence. When our Constitution was framed,
it was understood that the reservation would remain for a period of 10 years, but unfortunately, it has continued even after 65 years of independence.

The biggest threats, today, for the country is corruption. The countrymen should rise and fight against corruption at all levels, rather than shedding blood and indulging in violence for the reservation. The reservation has only played the role of an amoeboid monster sowing seeds of discord amongst the people. The importance of merit, in any society, cannot be understated. “

One has to wonder why he is  going to be impeached by MPs (mostly Congress MPs) against the freedom of speech and judgement of a judge instead of appeal to Supreme Court and without waiting for verdict of Supreme Court. The MPs who signed the impeachment petition include Anand Sharma, Digvijay Singh, Ashwani Kumar, P. L. Punia, Rajeev Shukla, Oscar Fernandes, Ambika Soni, B K Hariprasad (all Congress), D Raja (CPI), K N Balagopal (CPI-M), Sharad Yadav (JD-U), S C Misra and Narinder Kumar Kashyap (BSP), Tiruchi Siva (DMK) and D P Tripathi (NCP)).
