Opposition on the first day of the Monsoon Session in Parliament came out all guns blazing on Justice Varma. Stepping up the heat on Justice Yashwant Varma, parliamentarians on Monday submitted notices to the presiding officers of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. The notice was related to the removal of the Allahabad High Court judge from whose residence burnt wads of currency notes were found.
Justice Varma was repatriated from the Delhi High Court to the Allahabad High Court following the controversy, but the MPs during the Parliamentary Monsoon Session demanded his impeachment.
As reported by PTI, a bipartisan delegation submitted a notice, bearing the signatures of 145 Lok Sabha members, for the removal of Justice Varma under Articles 124, 217, and 218 of the Constitution to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Monday.
