High Court Judge Faces Scrutiny Over Burnt Currency Scandal

The Supreme Court has resonated with Justice Yashwant Varma's concerns regarding the inappropriate upload of a video showing burnt currency notes at his residence on the apex court's website.

A bench consisting of Justices Dipankar Datta and A G Masih remarked that the video's presence online does not invalidate the procedural integrity of the case, and Justice Varma won't be exonerated based on this ground.

The court clarified that impeachment proceedings would proceed autonomously in Parliament, independent of the in-house report, ensuring it is unaffected by the judiciary's stance or recommendations.
