Justice yashwant varma case: The Supreme Court will hear on Friday (March 28, 2025) on the petition filed against Justice Yashwant Verma. The case is in the bench of Justice Abhay Oka and Ujjwal Bhuiyan. 4 petitioners from Mumbai have said that getting a large amount of money at the judge’s house is a criminal case. For this, instead of creating an investigation committee of 3 judges, other agencies including police should have asked for investigation.

The petition by lawyer Mathews Nedmara, Hemali Kurne, Rajesh Adrekar and Chartered Accountant Manisha Mehta has also opposed the Supreme Court’s Constitution Bench’s decision in the 1991 case. It was said in that decision that the consent of the Chief Justice of India before the FIR against the High Court or Supreme Court judge is necessary. The petitioners have said that only the President and the governors have been exempted from the trial in the constitution. With its decision, the Supreme Court gave the judges separate special status from the common citizens.

Petitioners made them party

The petitioners have also made the party along with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Delhi High Court, the Central Government, Delhi Police, Delhi Fire Department, ED, CBI and Income Tax Department. Apart from this, Justice Sheel Nagu, Justice GS Sandhavalia and Justice Anu Shivraman, members of the 3 -member inquiry committee constituted by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, have also been made side.

‘Treatment should be done like ordinary citizens with judges’

It has been said in the petition that the FIR should have been lodged immediately after receiving the burnt cash in the judge’s house on March 14 and the arrest should have been made but now the case has been handed over to the judges’ investigation committee, which is not correct. Just as an FIR is registered against common citizens in a criminal case, it should be done in this case as well. The Supreme Court cancels the comments made in the Veeraswami verdict of 1991 and register a case to the investigating agencies and ask them to investigate.

The petition claimed that due to giving separate status to the judges, he has survived the FIR even in serious cases like Poxo. These petitioners associated with an organization called National Liars Campaign for Judicial Transparency and Reforms have reminded that Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill was introduced in Parliament in 2010 to investigate the corruption of judges and other wrong conduct, but that law could not be made.
