Supreme Court Dismisses Justice Yashwant Varma's Plea in Cash Scandal

• The Supreme Court rejected Justice Yashwant Varma's petition challenging a parliamentary panel's investigation into corruption charges.
• Varma had contested Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's decision to accept a motion for his removal and the panel's validity.
• The case stems from burnt currency notes found at Varma's official residence in New Delhi on March 14, leading to his transfer.
• Varma argued that only the Speaker or Chairman, not the Deputy Chairman, could accept or reject such motions under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968.
• A three-member panel was announced by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla in August 2025 to investigate the allegations.

Why It Matters: Justice Yashwant Varma's challenge against a parliamentary probe into corruption allegations was dismissed by the Supreme Court.
