Justice Varma Denies Cash Recovery, Cites Absence During Fire to Parliamentary Panel

Justice Yashwant Varma, facing impeachment proceedings after burnt currency notes were found at his residence, has told a parliamentary panel he was not present during the fire incident and claims no cash was recovered. He stated he was not the first responder and that initial responders failed to secure the scene. A three-member committee found him guilty of misconduct, leading to impeachment proceedings after he declined to resign. Justice Varma is challenging the inquiry committee's constitution in the Supreme Court.
