CJI Gavai Recuses From Varma Case, New Bench To Be Formed

A judge named Justice Varma is fighting against a panel that said he did something wrong involving burnt money found in his house.

The head judge, CJI Gavai, decided he couldn't be the judge in this case because he was involved.

Now, a new group of judges will hear the case to decide if the panel was right in its conclusions about the judge's actions.

Justice Varma is claiming that the panel's investigation wasn't fair.

The whole situation started when a fire happened at his home, and lots of money was found burned up.
