UPDATED: Aug 7, 2025 11:54 IST
The Supreme Court has pronounced its verdict in the Justice Yashwant Verma matter, dismissing his petition. The court upheld the legality of the in-house inquiry procedure and its consequential report. The Chief Justice of India's recommendation to the President and Prime Minister regarding Justice Verma's removal was also deemed to have legal sanction. The controversy originated from the recovery of cash in Justice Verma's house following a fire. The Supreme Court stated that "the entire procedure regarding the in-house inquiry committee and the consequential report that came out of it, in fact, does have legal sanction, which means that it's not an unconstitutional procedure." This decision means Justice Verma's options are now limited, with the matter expected to proceed to Parliament for impeachment proceedings.
