Who holds the distinction of being the first judge against whom impeachment proceedings were initiated in independent India?

Justice Veeraswami Ramaswami, who served on the Supreme Court of India, has the historical distinction of being the first judge in independent India to face removal proceedings through impeachment. This significant constitutional event occurred in 1993 when the impeachment motion was introduced in the Lok Sabha (lower house of Parliament). However, the motion ultimately failed to secure the constitutionally required two-thirds majority needed for his removal.
