Justice Yashwant Varma may face impeachment in cash row as Centre weighs options

Justice Yashwant Varma may face impeachment after a Supreme Court-appointed panel found him guilty of possessing unaccounted cash at his official Delhi, according to sources.

The in-house inquiry report suggested that the judge misled investigators regarding a fire incident. The impeachment process involves a Parliamentary Committee, requiring a two-thirds majority for impeachment. The judiciary's approval is needed to initiate an FIR. The in-house panel's findings indicate that Justice Verma attempted to deny allegations and mislead the panel.
