WATCH FULL EPISODE -    • Are Politicians Weaponising Impeachment Of...  

The byte examines the political and constitutional debate surrounding the impeachment motion against a sitting High Court judge, questioning whether the move is a genuine exercise of parliamentary oversight or merely political optics aimed at a specific vote bank. While critics argue that the opposition lacks the numbers required for the motion to succeed and is therefore staging a symbolic gesture, supporters defend the move as a legitimate constitutional remedy under Articles 124, 217, and 218 for addressing judicial conduct or ideologically driven verdicts. Drawing parallels with past impeachment efforts in 1993 and 2011, the discussion highlights the delicate balance between judicial independence and parliamentary accountability, and whether raising such motions—despite slim chances of success—serves as a necessary democratic check or a politicisation of the judiciary
