Unnatural conduct, no plausible explanation: SC panel recommends Justice Varma's impeachment

NEW DELHI: A three-member Supreme Court-appointed panel has recommended the removal of Justice Yashwant Varma after piles of burnt and unburnt cash were found at his residence, sources said. The panel examined more than 55 witnesses and in its 64-page report on morning indicted Justice Varma for misconduct. This committee holds the cash was found in the storeroom located within the premises of 30 Tughlaq Crescent officially occupied by Justice Varma, the report read. The panel further noted that Justice Varma failed to offer any plausible explanation for his claim of having no knowledge of the cash found at his residence. It is unbelievable. If there was any conspiracy, why did he not file a complaint or inform the Chief Justice of the High Court or the Chief Justice of India? The panel, stating that large piles of cash were found at Justice Varma's residence, said that it made a scathing remark against the judge, noting that he did not report the incident to the police, judiciary or any authority. After examining multiple eyewitness' accounts and evidence, the panel confirmed the presence of Rs 500 notes. It also described the conduct of the Allahabad High Court judge 'unnatural'. The committee also scrutinised the roles of Justice Varmas daughter, Diya Varma, and his private secretary, Rajinder Karki, who allegedly instructed firefighters not to report the presence of cash at the scene. On May 8, following Justice Yashwant Varmas indictment in the cash recovery case by a Supreme Court-appointed in-house committee, then Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna sent a letter to the Centre recommending his impeachment. The decision came after Justice Varma refused to resign despite the committees findings, prompting the then CJI to take the unprecedented step of seeking his removal. Earlier, in line with the in-house procedure, the former CJI Khanna had written to the President and the Prime Minister, enclosing the three-member inquiry committees report dated May 3 and Justice Yashwant Varmas response dated May 6. The Supreme Court-appointed panel, which was probing the recovery of cash from Justice Varmas residence on March 14, submitted its findings to the then CJI on May 4. Following the indictment, Justice Khanna had asked Justice Varma to resign. The committee arrived at its conclusion after thoroughly examining a range of evidence and recording statements from over 45 individuals, including Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora and the chief of Delhi Fire Services. The allegation was vehemently denied by Justice Yashwant Varma in his responses to both the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court-appointed inquiry panel. When TNIE contacted Justice Varma through calls and messages seeking his response to the findings of the in-house probe, there was no reply from him. The three-judge inquiry committee appointed by the Supreme Court, which was probing the cash recovery at Justice Varmas house on March 14, has submitted a report to CJI on May 4. After 40 days of setting up of the panel by the top court, the committee submitted its report, after making due diligence on the probe in the cash recovery issue. The SC had on March 25 constituted the three-member inquiry Committee, consisting ofJusticeSheel Nagu, ChiefJusticeof the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Justice G S Sandhawalia, ChiefJusticeof the High Court of Himachal Pradesh andJusticeAnu Sivaraman, Judge of the High Court of Karnataka. Justice Yashwant Varma cash recovery row: Trial by fire for judicial probity The inquiry panel focused on several key questions during its investigation to reach a conclusive finding. These included - Who is the owner of the large amount of cash? Who brought and stored these currency notes in the storeroom, if any? a source said. The panel also questioned why the currency notes, reportedly found in the storeroom, were not shown to Justice Varmas family members, as claimed by him. It further sought clarity on the whereabouts of the burnt currency remains, which were visible in a video shared by the Delhi Police Commissioner with the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court. Justice Yashwant Varma, in his written reply accessed by TNIE , firmly denied any link to the recovered cash, stating that neither he nor any of his family members had placed the money in the storeroom. I state unequivocally that no cash was ever placed in that storeroom either by me or any of my family members, and strongly denounce the suggestion that the alleged cash belonged to us, he said. Calling the allegation preposterous, Justice Varma said the idea that anyone would store cash in a commonly used, freely accessible storeroom near the staff quarters or in an outhouse was incredible and incredulous. He added that the storeroom was entirely separate from his living quarters and demarcated by a boundary wall. Expressing concern over media coverage, he remarked, I only wish that the media had conducted some enquiry before I came to be indicted and defamed in the press.

Allahabad HC condemns family's resistance to womans decision to marry man of her choice, calls it despicable

LUCKNOW: While defending a womans constitutional right to marry a person of her choice, the Allahabad High Court delivered a strong message to the family and relatives criticising their opposition by calling it despicable. The case involved a 27-year-old woman who had to resort to seeking police action by submitting a complaint against her father and brother, fearing abduction by them for choosing the life partner of her choice. The Division Bench, comprising Justice JJ Munir and Justice Praveen Kumar Giri, described the familys resistance as 'despicable', reiterating Article 21 of the Constitution of India, which guarantees an adult individuals right to marry according to their choice. It is despicable that the petitioners should object to the decision of an adult member of the family, a woman 27 years of age, from marrying a man of her choice. At least that is the right which every adult has under the Constitution by virtue of Article 21, said the Bench. While hearing a plea filed by the womans father and brother, who sought to quash the FIR registered against them under Sections 140(3), 62, and 352 of Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita (BNS) in response to her complaint, the court, however, clarified that there was no conclusive evidence hinting at the petitioners (her father and brother) intentions to abduct her (complainant). It acknowledged that the matter reflected a broader societal concern -- the mismatch between legal rights and traditional social norms. The fact that there is social and familial resistance to the exercise of such right is a glaring depiction of the 'value gap' between the constitutional and social norms. So long as there is a gap between the values fostered by the Constitution and those cherished by the society, these kinds of incidents would continue to happen, said the Court. Though the Court provided interim protection to the petitioners by staying their arrest, it also issued firm instructions preventing them from interfering in the womans life or contacting her in any way. The petitioners shall not contact the fourth respondent over telephone or any other electronic device, or using the internet through friends or associates. The Police are also restrained from interfering with the fourth respondent's freedom and liberty in any manner, whatsoever, directed the Bench. Further, the Court issued notices to the state government and other authorities concerned, giving them three weeks to respond by filing a counter-affidavit. The next hearing is scheduled for July 18, 2025.

Cash discovery row: Congress asks Centre to share SC report on allegations against Justice Varma

NEW DELHI: The Congress has asked the government to share with it the report of a Supreme Court-appointed committee that probed graft allegations against Justice Yashwant Varma so that it can firm up its stand on the issue of his impeachment before the Monsoon session of Parliament, party sources said on Thursday. The government, however, is yet to respond, the sources said. Several burnt sacks containing cash were allegedly discovered at Justice Varma's residence in Delhi after a fire broke out there in March, when he was a Delhi High Court judge. Though the judge, who was later transferred to the Allahabad High Court, has claimed ignorance about the cash, the Supreme Court-appointed committee indicted him after speaking to a number of witnesses and recording his statement. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has initiated discussions with all political parties to bring an impeachment motion against Justice Varma in Parliament's Monsoon session, starting from July 21. The Congress sources said the party has asked Rijiju to share the report of the committee so that it can firm up its stand on the issue of impeachment. The minister is yet to get back to the Congress, they said. Cash discovery row: Resignation only option before Justice Varma to avoid removal by Parliament Last week, Rijiju underlined the government's resolve to take all political parties on board in moving the impeachment motion against Justice Varma, saying corruption in the judiciary cannot be approached through a political prism. He said the government wants the exercise to be a collaborative effort. According to the Judges (Inquiry) Act of 1968, once a motion to remove a judge is admitted in any of the Houses, the speaker or the chairman, as the case may be, will constitute a three-member committee to investigate the grounds on which the removal (or, in popular term, impeachment) has been sought. The committee consists of the chief justice of India (CJI) or a Supreme Court judge, the chief justice of one of the 25 high courts and a distinguished jurist. Rijiju, however, has said the present case is slightly different as an in-house committee formed by former CJI Sanjiv Khanna has already submitted its report. So what is to be done in this matter, we will take a call, he said earlier. The minister had said the process has to be followed, but how to integrate the inquiry already conducted needs to be decided. Following the Supreme Court's in-house inquiry, former CJI Sanjeev Khanna is believed to have prodded Varma to resign but he dug in his heels. The apex court has since transferred him to his parent cadre, the Allahabad High Court, where he has not been assigned any judicial work. Former CJI Khanna had written to the president and the prime minister, recommending Justice Varma's impeachment. 'Justice Yashwant Varma to be impeached?' Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde explains

There is no accountability: Rahul Gandhi slams UP for hiding Maha Kumbh death toll; cites BBC report

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday cited a BBC report to allege that the number of people who died in stampedes during the Maha Kumbh was suppressed by the Uttar Pradesh government and accused the BJP of having no accountability. BBC report reveals that the figures of deaths in Kumbh Mela stampede were hidden. Like in COVID, the bodies of the poor were erased from the statistics. Like after every major railway accident, the truth is suppressed, he said in a post on X. This is the BJP model - if there is no counting of the poor, then there is no accountability either! the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said. On Tuesday, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav cited the same media report to accuse the Uttar Pradesh government of lying about the death toll in the January 29 Maha Kumbh stampede and said that those who provide false statistics are not worthy of public trust. Yadav made the remarks in a post on X, citing a BBC report which claimed that 82 people died in the stampede. The toll is significantly higher than the official figure of 37.
