Soumitra Sen - First Judge Impeached By RS

New Delhi, Aug 18: Justice Soumitra Sen of the Calcutta High Court could go down in history as the first judge to be removed if Lok Sabha gives its consent next week to the motion for his impeachment. The first such case involved the impeachment motion in Lok Sabha of Justice V Ramaswami of the Supreme Court in May 1993 which fell due to lack of numbers after Congress members abstained. In Kolkata, Justice Soumitra Sen, against whom the Rajya Sabha today approved an impeachment motion, says he is extremely disappointed. The Calcutta High Court judge had himself presented his case against the motion in the Rajya Sabha yesterday.
