Justice Verma’s official residence in Delhi was found sacks filled with bundles of 500-500 rupees.
The petition of Justice Yashwant Verma will be heard in the Supreme Court today. The petition appealed to cancel the in-house committee report and the recommendation of impeachment. In the report, Justice Verma has been convicted for getting cash in the house.
On July 23, at the last hearing, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal argued on behalf of Justice Verma. He had said that there are some constitutional issues in it. Please set up benches as soon as possible. On this, the Supreme Court had said that a new bench would be formed to hear the case.
On the other hand, impeachment proceedings against Justice Yashwant Verma have also started in Parliament. To remove Justice Verma, 152 MPs submitted a memorandum to Speaker Om Birla in the Lok Sabha on 21 July. More than 50 MPs in the Rajya Sabha signed the proposal.
At the same time, Chief Justice BR Gavai has separated himself from the hearing. He says that it would not be appropriate for me to attend the hearing of this case, because I have been a part of it before.
This picture is on 14 March. 500-500 notes were burnt in the fire in Justice Yashwant Verma’s house.
In the petition, Justice Verma said- I do not prove to get a note from the house that they were mine On July 18, Justice Verma filed a petition in the Supreme Court. In this, he argued that the recovery of cash on the exterior of his residence does not prove that they are involved in it, as the internal inquiry committee did not decide whose cash or how it was found in the premises.
Questioning the findings of the committee, they have argued- this is based on estimates. Justice Verma is not named in the petition, but in the Supreme Court Diary it has been recorded from the title of ‘XXX vs. Government of India and others’.
Justice Verma asks for answers to 5 questions Justice Verma has sought answers to 5 questions in his petition, as well as 10 arguments, on the basis of which the inquiry committee has been requested to cancel the report and cancel the recommendation of impeachment.
Justice Verma has said in the petition that the committee should have answered these 5 questions on the recovery of notes-
- When, how and who kept cash on the exterior?
- How much cash was kept?
- Whether the cash was real or not?
- What was the reason for the fire?
- Was the petitioner somehow responsible for ‘removing’ the remaining cash on 15 March 2025?
10 arguments of Justice Verma in the petition …
- The impeachment recommendation sent to the President and the Prime Minister is a violation of Articles 124 and 218.
- The in-house process made in the 1999 full court meeting is only administrative system, not constitutional or legal. It cannot be made the basis of serious decisions like removing the judge from the post.
- The inquiry committee was constituted with only estimates and unproven information without formal complaint. This is against the basic objective of the in-house process.
- On 22 March 2025, the allegations were publicly mentioned in a press release. This led to the media trial and his reputation was deeply damaged.
- Neither showed evidence, nor gave an opportunity to denote allegations. The main witnesses were questioned in my absence. CCTV footage was not taken as evidence.
- Who kept the cash, whether it was real or not, ignored the original questions like the fire.
- The committee’s report was based on estimates and prior perceptions, not on any concrete evidence. It is insufficient to prove serious misconduct.
- Within hours of receiving the investigation report, the then Chief Justice warned of resigning or facing impeachment. Did not give an opportunity to keep the side.
- In the previous cases, the judges had a chance of personal hearing. The tradition was ignored in this case.
- Instead of keeping the report confidential, its parts were leaked and distorted in the media, which tarnished the image which would never be compensated.
