New Delhi, June 10, 2025 (ANI): On the removal of Justice Yashwant Verma, senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal said that the steps to remove Justice Yashwant Verma on the basis of an in-house enquiry report will be "unconstitutional", adding that a precedent like this will be a "huge" danger for judicial independence. Talking to ANI, Sibal said, "Kiren Rijiju is trying with the opposition parties that they should come together, to remove Justice Yashwant Verma... If they do so, we will oppose that. We warn the government that any such step will be unconstitutional. Such a precedent will be a huge danger for judicial independence... It's an indirect way of controlling the judiciary. It is dangerous to bypass the Judges' Enquiry Act... Those who are in a higher position are fulfilling their responsibility a bit slowly."
