Justice Yashwant Varma of the Allahabad High Court is at the center of a major controversy after large amounts of burnt cash were discovered at his residence, prompting allegations of corruption and judicial misconduct. Parliament has initiated impeachment proceedings, with motions submitted in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, although the latter did not admit the motion. The Supreme Court is set to hear Justice Varma's plea challenging the findings of an in-house inquiry panel, which he claims denied him due process. The government is moving to form a committee to investigate the allegations, marking a rare and significant test of judicial accountability in India. The case has reignited debates about the need for reforms in the process of impeaching judges and addressing judicial misconduct.
