On December 13, 2024, members of several opposition parties moved a notice in the Rajya Sabha for the impeachment of Allahabad HC Judge over his controversial remarks at the VHP event. The notice for moving the impeachment motion was signed by 55 opposition MPs, including Sibal, Jairam Ramesh, Vivek Tankha, Digvijaya Singh, John Brittas, Manoj Kumar Jha and Saket Gokhale.“So either no action will be taken or they will reject a few signatures in the impeachment notice and reject the motion so that “we go to the Supreme Court and it takes time which would ensure that Shekhar Yadav retires in 2026,” Sibal said.Sibal said that on December 13, 2024, the Opposition MPs had given a notice for an impeachment motion to Chairman Rajya Sabha with signatures of 55 MPs. “Six months have gone, but no steps have been taken,” he said.The RS secretariat sent a letter to the CJI, requesting that no action be taken. It was said the matter will be taken up as there is an impeachment motion notice, and the Supreme Court must halt its in-house procedures against Yadav, Sibal said.“Should the chairman write such a letter to the CJI? The in-house procedure is SC’s own, it has no connection with the impeachment motion. Till now impeachment motion has not even been admitted, it has been six months and only signatures are being verified,” Sibal said.
