Lok Sabha to Initiate Proceedings to Remove Justice Yashwant Varma: Kiren Rijiju on Cash Discovery Row

DELHI, INDIA, JUL 25 – A bipartisan motion with signatures from 152 MPs will begin in Lok Sabha to remove Justice Yashwant Varma over alleged graft, proceeding next to Rajya Sabha per the Judges (Inquiry) Act.

  • On Friday, July 25, 2025, Kiren Rijiju said Lok Sabha will take up a motion to remove Justice Yashwant Varma after Rajya Sabha notice was not admitted.
  • After a fire incident, Justice Yashwant Varma challenged the panel’s findings in the Supreme Court.
  • The inquiry panel will include a Supreme Court judge, a High Court chief justice, and a jurist of eminent standing, and under the Judges Act, simultaneous notices require a joint committee by the Lok Sabha Speaker and Rajya Sabha Chairman.
  • On July 21, then-Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar acknowledged receipt of the notice, then resigned that evening, leaving Deputy Chairman Harivansh as acting presiding officer.
  • Proceedings in Lok Sabha will move to Rajya Sabha after completion under the Judges Act, as Om Birla is expected to announce a three-member inquiry panel.
