The Supreme Court is examining a challenge by Allahabad High Court Justice Yashwant Varma against the Lok Sabha Speaker's inquiry committee probing corruption charges. Justice Varma's counsel argues that impeachment motions moved in both Houses on the same day require a joint committee, and the Lok Sabha's unilateral action after the Rajya Sabha rejected its motion is unlawful. The court orally observed there's no absolute bar on the Lok Sabha forming a committee, but acknowledged potential procedural "infirmity" and will assess its gravity.
