Kolkata, Sep 1: Ahead of the impeachment motion against him in the Lok Sabha on Monday, Justice Soumitra Sen today resigned as judge of the Calcutta High Court.
“I have decided not to go to the Lok Sabha and instead put in my papers,” Sen, who was to have appeared before the Lok Sabha on September 5, told PTI here.
“I have sent my resignation to President Pratibha Patil and a copy of it to the Lok Sabha Speaker,” he said.
In his letter to the President, Justice Sen has said that since Rajya Sabha has decided in its wisdom that he should not continue as a judge, he was resigning and wanted to live as a common citizen, his lawyer Subhash Bhattacharya said.
