In his reply, Justice Varma denied the claims that the cash allegedly recovered in the incident belonged to him. He also informed the committee that he was not present at the time when the fire incident occurred, which reportedly led to the discovery of the cash.

The judge further maintained that no cash was recovered from his residence, disputing the allegations associated with the reported incident and reiterating his stand before the committee.

The parliamentary panel, constituted to examine the matter in the context of possible impeachment proceedings, is expected to review documents, responses and other material placed before it during the course of the hearings.

The committee will conduct the inquiry on a day-to-day basis between March 13 and March 21, following which it is expected to deliberate on the findings of the proceedings.

The case pertains to the recovery of unaccounted and partially burnt cash from the official residence of Justice Varma, then a sitting judge of the Delhi High Court. Following the internal inquiry, the former CJI, Sanjiv Khanna, forwarded a recommendation to the President and the Prime Minister of India to initiate the procedure for his removal. Subsequently, on July 21, 2025, a motion was moved in both Houses of Parliament for Justice Varma's removal.

On August 12, 2025, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha formed a three-member Inquiry Committee to investigate the charges against Justice Varma. The Lok Sabha Speaker's decision came after he received a notice of the motion, signed by 146 Members of Parliament, seeking Justice Yashwant Varma's removal. (ANI)
