Please note that Justice Sen has not been impeached yet. Your title suggests to the contrary. The motion has not yet been introduced in the Lok Sabha!

Kian, Justice Sen has not been impeached yet. Your title is misleading. Impeachment will only be complete if Lok Sabha also votes for impeachment and thereafter it will be sent to the President for her approval.

Wonder how many "Gandhian" lawyers in India opposing people like Parsons have raised even $1 for charity. Balaji & SILF we dare you to give us figures.
