Lok Sabha panel finds charges proved against Justice Varma
A Lok Sabha inquiry committee has found that charges against Justice Yashwant Varma are proved, stating his response to the discovery of cash bundles at his residence was 'evasive'. The committee's report, however, noted there was no concrete evidence of ownership of the cash. Despite Justice Varma's resignation, the government may proceed with impeachment proceedings, and an FIR route remains open. Senior officials argue removal proceedings can continue as they began before his resignation.
