Dissident JD(U) MP plans to impeach Supreme Court judge

Patna,(BiharTimes): Dissident Janata Dal (United) MP from Muzaffarpur, Captain Jai Narayan Nishad, has vowed impeachment proceedings against a Supreme Court judge.
According to reports from New Delhi the Lok Sabha MP from Bihar, has written to the Speaker Meira Kumar against a sitting judge of the Supreme Court of India.
“Yes, I have written the letter. I am confirming it,” the MP was quoted by rediff.com as saying.

He said he has forwarded a litigant named H S Hoon’s complaints against the Supreme Court judge to the establishment.
In his three-page letter to the Speaker, Captain Nishad said earlier, he had written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Law Minister Salman Khurshid, but received no reply.
According to the report Captain Nishad made many sensational allegations without providing any evidence for the same. The MP also claimed that in his letter dated November 28, 2011 to Law Minister Khurshid, he mentioned his determination to initiate impeachment proceedings against the judge.
The MP claims his idea to impeach the Supreme Court judge “was unanimously mooted and agreed by my party colleagues with members of various parties, including the BJP, in the Lok Sabha.”
“I will shortly furnish you with a resolution, signed by more than a hundred members of the Lok Sabha, in support of my impeachment motion.”
He also requested the Speaker to direct the law minister “to positively send him a reply.” The letter also mentioned Parshottam Rupala, a Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Gujarat. “In the sensitive context (against the sitting judge), even our brother MP Parshottam Rupala, on 29-11-2010, also wrote to the previous law minister Moily.”
Rupala wrote to then law minister M Veerappa Moily, saying, “I have been regularly receiving letters regarding corruption of judiciary from several sources including Mr H S Hoon, a British national of 88 years of age.”
In the same letter, Rupala mentioned that the proof furnished by Hoon are “iron-clad.”
He requested Moily to pursue the evidence provided by Hoon.
