Supreme Court to Hear Justice Varma's Plea
Justice Yashwant Varma has asked the Supreme Court to look at a problem he has with a committee set up by the Lok Sabha.
He says the committee was not formed correctly because the notices were not given to both houses of Parliament on the same day.
His lawyer, Fali S. Nariman, argued that for a committee to be formed, the motion must be admitted in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, and the notices must be given on the same date.
The Supreme Court will now decide if the committee was formed the right way.
Justice Yashwant Varma has filed a plea in the Supreme Court challenging the constitution of a Lok Sabha inquiry panel.
He argues that the panel was improperly constituted because notices were not given to both Houses of Parliament on the same date.
Lawyer Fali S. Nariman stated that for a committee to be constituted, the motion must be admitted in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
The Supreme Court will hear the plea and decide on the validity of the panel's constitution.
The argument centers around the procedural requirements for forming parliamentary committees.
