Allahabad High Court judge faces Supreme Court collegium over controversial remarks at VHP event
Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav of the Allahabad High Court is expected to appear before the Supreme Court collegium following controversial remarks made at a Vishwa Hindu Parishad event. The Supreme Court has requested a report from the high court regarding his statements. Justice Yadav reportedly spoke about the Uniform Civil Code and made comments suggesting that laws should reflect the majority's wishes. His remarks have sparked criticism from opposition leaders, who labeled them as "hate speech." In response, over 55 opposition MPs have filed a notice for his impeachment. A senior lawyer has also called for an inquiry into Justice Yadav's conduct to address concerns about judicial integrity.
