Judge Cash Scandal: The Supreme Court has actually dismissed Justice Yashwant Varma’s petition challenging his suggested elimination, initially proposed by previous CJI Sanjiv Khanna. The case focuses on the cash-at-home scandal, where scorched currency was discovered after a fire at Varma’s Delhi home on March 14, 2025. An internal probe, backed by strong proof and 55 witnesses, discovered that Varma had control over the storage room where the money was kept– yet he stopped working to use a persuading description, leaning on a weak conspiracy theory.
Justices Dipankar Datta and A.G. Masih supported the questions’s authenticity under the Judges (Protection) Act, 1985, calling Varma’s legal difficulty belated and problematic. The choice has actually shaken the judiciary and unlocked for an uncommon impeachment procedure, currently supported by more than 150 Members of Parliament.
