Veeraswami Ramaswami (born 15 February 1929) is an Indian retired judge of the Supreme Court of India and the first judge against whom removal proceedings were initiated in independent India.

1971

He was appointed permanent Judge of the Madras High Court from 31 January 1971.

At the height of his career, he was appointed Judge of the Supreme Court on 6 October 1989 from which he retired on 14 February 1994.

1990

A scandal surfaced in the middle of the year 1990 when several media outlets reported about his ostentatious expenditure on his official residence during his tenure as a Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana.

1991

In a serious turn of events, on 1 February 1991, Supreme Court Bar Assn passed a resolution calling for his removal and requesting Chief justice not assign him any further legal work.

Bharatiya Janata Party and Left parties submitted a notice of motion to the Indian Parliament seeking his removal from office.

Accepting the motion on 12 March 1991, Speaker Rabi Ray constituted a committee composed of Justice P. B. Sawant of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Prabodh Dinkarrao Desai of the Bombay High Court, and Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy, retired judge of the Supreme Court to investigate the affair.

The committee found Ramaswami guilty of 11 out of 14 charges.

1993

The removal motion was placed in the Lok Sabha for debate and voting on 10 May 1993.

Well known lawyer and a Congress politician Kapil Sibal was his defence lawyer.

Of 401 members present in the Lok Sabha that day, there were 196 votes for removal and no votes against and 205 abstentions by ruling Congress and its allies.

The motion which requires two-thirds majority of members present and voting of that house and an absolute majority of its total membership of that house thus failed to pass.

The said decision was challenged before the Supreme Court and they upheld the decision of the Parliament.

Vaiko received 41.8% and Thamaraikani 4.74% of the votes.

Ramaswami has 5 children.

His youngest son Sanjay Ramaswami is a lawyer and former member of the legislative assembly in Tamil Nadu, representing the Congress party.
