An attempt to impeach him was unsuccessful in the Parliament. He began his legal career in 1955, and was appointed as a Judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court in December-1982. In October 1989, he was appointed as Judge of the Supreme Court of India, and became Chief Justice of India in January-1998 but amidst serious controversy of impending impeachment motion. In 1998, the Committee on Judicial Accountability prepared a charge sheet to impeach Justice Madan Mohan Punchhi, and obtained the signatures of 25 Rajya Sabha MPs. However, Punchhi was appointed Chief Justice of India before the required 50 signatures had been obtained, at which point it became impossible to gain further support for the motion.[1] He is known for his work in initiating the Punchhi commission which deals with matters pertaining to the Centre- State relations in India.[2] He was a resident of Chandigarh.
