The Supreme Court on Thursday declined the plea of Justice Yashwant Varma Allahabad High Court challenging the in-house three-judge inquiry committee's report and former Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna's recommendation to initiate impeachment proceedings against him.
A bench led by Justice Dipankar Datta and also comprising Justice Augustine George Masih asked, “Why did you appear before the (three-judge) inquiry committee? You should have raised all these points before the court instead.”
A team of Delhi Police, including Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Devesh Mahala, on Wednesday visited Justice Yashwant Varma’s official residence as part of the investigation into the alleged discovery of wads of cash at his house.
