Resignation Only Option for Justice Varma Amid Corruption Probe
The Speaker of the Parliament, Om Birla, has set up a group to investigate claims against Justice Yashwant Varma.
This is happening because burnt money was found at his house.
A special group of judges and a legal expert will look into it.
Justice Varma could resign to keep his benefits, but if Parliament removes him, he would lose them.
The process follows a set of rules, and if a judge resigns, that is the end of it.
If they are removed it is a much longer process.
Speaker Om Birla announced a committee to probe charges against Justice Yashwant Varma.
Resignation is the only option left to avoid removal by Parliament.
A panel was formed including judges and a distinguished jurist.
Justice Varma is under investigation for alleged corruption, following burnt cash discovery.
If removed by Parliament, Justice Varma will lose pension benefits.
