Shekhar Kumar Yadav

Shekhar Kumar Yadav is an Indian judge serving in the Allahabad High Court since 12 December 2019. His position as judge has been in the spotlight following reportedly Islamophobic comments he made in December 2024 at an event of the right-wing Vishwa Hindu Parishad. Calls for his removal include an impeachment motion initiated against him in Parliament seeking his removal as judge on grounds of promoting majoritarianism and hate speech.
