Chennai, Dec. 9 -- Opposition MPs, led by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), are likely to move an impeachment motion against justice GR Swaminathan of the Madras high court over his controversial judgment on the lighting of a lamp atop a hill in Madurai, leaders aware of the details said on Monday. "We will move it tomorrow or the day after in Parliament," a senior DMK MP said on condition of anonymity. For the removal of a sitting HC judge, the motion requires the signatures of 100 MPs in the Lok Sabha and 50 in the Rajya Sabha."We have received 100 signatures from the Lok Sabha," a second DMK MP said. According to a Congress MP from Tamil Nadu, the bloc is expected to make a decision on the motion on Tuesday morning. "We have signed the petition. It might be moved on Tuesday or Wednesday," the lawmaker said, also on anonymity. On December 1, justice Swaminathan permitted devotees to light the lamp, called the Karthigai Deepam, atop Madurai's Thiruparankundram hill, saying the ritual is an integral part of Tamil culture. The state resisted the order citing law and order concerns and the hill's proximity to a dargah. The hill, which covers the Subramaniya Swamy temple, Kasi Viswanathan temple, and Sikkander Badusha dargah. On December 3, he quashed the Madurai Collector's prohibitory order under Section 144 CrPC (Section 163 BNSS), calling it an "attempt to circumvent his order". The same day, a division bench upheld his directions, describing the state's appeal as an "attempt to pre-empt contempt". Amid the row, the DMK government has moved the Supreme Court, seeking urgent hearing of its challenge to the high court's directions permitting devotees to light the lamp. Speaking about the controversy on Sunday, CM MK Stalin had said: "The lighting of the sacred lamp at Tirupparankundram was done traditionally by the HR&CE Department. True devotees know this. Some groups are trying to provoke unrest for political gain."...
