VERMA, J. (on behalf of Kalliwal, Jayachandra Reddy, Agrawal, JJ. and himself) - Both these writ petitions under Article 32 of the Constitution were heard together and are disposed of by this common judgment since they involve for decision substantially the same points. In Writ Petition No. 149 of 1992, the petitioner Krishna Swami is member of the Tenth Lok Sabha from Tamil Nadu while in Writ Petition No. 140 of 1992, the petitioner Raj Kanwar is an advocate of District Karnal in Haryana. Both these petitions are stated to have been filed in public interest and elate to the proceedings for the removal from office of Mr. Justice V. Ramaswami of the Supreme Court of India initiated by the notice of notion given to the Speaker by 108 members of the Ninth Lok Sabha. It is unnecessary to state further facts herein and it would suffice to say that both these petitions are a sequel to the decision in Sub-Committee on Judicial Accountability v. Union of India ((1991) 4 SCC 699) and were filed prior to Writ Petition No. 514 of 1992 - Sarojini Ramaswami (Mrs.) v. Union of India ((1992) 4 SCC 506) which has been disposed of by us earlie
