New Delhi: Calcutta HC judge Soumitra Sen faces impeachment for misappropriating about Rs 24 lakh given to him as a receiver in a 1990s case. He had put the sum in his account and invested it in a venture that went into liquidation. The HC had passed an adverse order in April 2006, forcing Sen to deposit a sum of nearly Rs 58 lakh, which included interest on the money misappropriated.
