SC Dismisses Justice Varma's Plea Against Speaker's Impeachment Move

• The Supreme Court dismissed Justice Yashwant Varma's petition challenging the Lok Sabha Speaker's decision to accept his removal proposal and form an inquiry committee.
• Justice Varma, an Allahabad High Court judge, is embroiled in a 'cash scandal' that occurred while he was a Delhi High Court judge.
• He had argued that the impeachment process requires acceptance from both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha before a joint committee can be formed, not just the Lok Sabha.
• The 'cash scandal' involved bundles of burnt currency notes found in his Delhi government bungalow during a fire incident in March 2025.
• Following the scandal, Justice Varma was transferred to the Allahabad High Court and has not been assigned judicial work; impeachment proceedings are now expected.

Why It Matters: Supreme Court rejects Justice Varma's challenge, paving the way for impeachment proceedings in cash scandal.
