Judge Cash Row: SC Issues Notices to Parliament Secretariats on Justice Varma's Plea

• Supreme Court issued notices to Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Secretariats on a petition by Justice Yashwant Varma.
• Justice Varma, identified as 'X' in the cause list, challenged the Lok Sabha Speaker's committee for a corruption probe.
• The probe stems from unaccounted cash found at his official residence after a fire incident in March.
• Varma argued the committee was formed unilaterally without proper joint consultation or acceptance of the Rajya Sabha resolution.
• An earlier in-house inquiry panel found allegations true, but Justice Varma refused to resign.
