Parliament to SC: No Prejudice to Justice Varma in Cash Haul Row

• Lok Sabha Secretary General informed SC that Justice Varma's petition challenging impeachment motion was based on incorrect facts.
• Parliament asserted no prejudice was caused to Justice Varma and SC cannot question Speaker's decision to form a committee.
• The Judges Inquiry Act applies only if impeachment motions are admitted in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
• Rajya Sabha's motion by 62 MPs was rejected by Deputy Chairman on August 11, 2025, making only the Lok Sabha motion valid.
• Justice Varma's counsel, Mukul Rohatgi, argued a committee couldn't be formed as one house rejected the motion, preventing a joint committee.

Why It Matters: Parliament defends its actions in the Justice Varma impeachment row, stating no prejudice occurred and challenging SC's jurisdiction.
