Concerns Arise Over Delay in Judge's 'Cash' Case
A judge from the Allahabad High Court had a lot of burned money found at his house.
Instead of a police investigation, the Chief Justice of India set up a review by other judges.
The review indicated the judge did something wrong.
Now, people want to remove him from his job through impeachment.
This takes a vote in Parliament, and the government is asking all parties to help.
People are upset that action is taking so long.
An Allahabad High Court judge had charred currency notes found at his residence.
An internal inquiry, by high court judges, reportedly found wrongdoing.
The impeachment process starts with a motion submitted to the President.
The Union Law Minister will seek cooperation from all parties for the motion.
There is a delay in legal action against the judge.
