The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the petition of Allahabad High Court Justice Yashwant Verma. In this petition, Justice Verma challenged the action taken against him for the cash scandal.
In fact, Justice Verma of Allahabad High Court had appealed to cancel the in-house report report and impeachment recommendation in his house burn cash note case. Justice Verma has been convicted in the report.
This picture is on 14 March. 500-500 notes were burnt in the fire in Justice Yashwant Verma’s house.
Justice Verma said- do not prove to get a note from the house that they were mine On July 18, Justice Verma filed a petition in the Supreme Court. In this, he argued that the recovery of cash on the exterior of his residence does not prove that they are involved in it, as the internal inquiry committee did not decide whose cash or how it was found in the premises.
Questioning the findings of the committee, they have argued- this is based on estimates. Justice Verma is not named in the petition, but in the Supreme Court Diary it has been recorded from the title of ‘XXX vs. Government of India and others’.
In the petition, Justice Verma gave 10 arguments, which were rejected
- The impeachment recommendation sent to the President and the Prime Minister is a violation of Articles 124 and 218.
- The in-house process made in the 1999 full court meeting is only administrative system, not constitutional or legal. It cannot be made the basis of serious decisions like removing the judge from the post.
- The inquiry committee was constituted with only estimates and unproven information without formal complaint. This is against the basic objective of the in-house process.
- On 22 March 2025, the allegations were publicly mentioned in a press release. This led to the media trial and his reputation was deeply damaged.
- Neither showed evidence, nor gave an opportunity to denote allegations. The main witnesses were questioned in my absence. CCTV footage was not taken as evidence.
- Who kept the cash, whether it was real or not, ignored the original questions like the fire.
- The committee’s report was based on estimates and prior perceptions, not on any concrete evidence. It is insufficient to prove serious misconduct.
- Within hours of receiving the investigation report, the then Chief Justice warned of resigning or facing impeachment. Did not give an opportunity to keep the side.
- In the previous cases, the judges had a chance of personal hearing. The tradition was ignored in this case.
- Instead of keeping the report confidential, its parts were leaked and distorted in the media, which tarnished the image which would never be compensated.
