NDIA Alliance Submits Notice Seeking Removal of Judge Swaminathan
The DMK-led INDIA alliance has formally submitted a notice in Parliament seeking the initiation of proceedings for the removal of Honourable Judge Swaminathan. The notice, prepared and endorsed by key representatives of the alliance, was officially handed over to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.
This move marks a significant political development, as parliamentary resolutions against sitting judges are rare and require detailed procedures under the Constitution. According to the alliance, the submission follows internal discussions within the INDIA bloc on the need to address concerns they believe warrant parliamentary scrutiny.
Leaders from multiple parties in the alliance were present during the submission, signalling their collective stance on the matter. By placing the notice before the Speaker, the INDIA alliance has formally triggered the initial step in a constitutional process that requires examination, verification, and compliance with established parliamentary norms.
Speaker Om Birla will now review the notice, after which further procedural steps may follow as per constitutional guidelines. The development has generated considerable attention in political circles, with parties and observers closely watching how the process unfolds in the coming days.
The INDIA alliance has stated that the move reflects its commitment to accountability and procedural transparency within democratic institutions.
