Legal Experts: FIR Can Be Lodged Against Justice Yashwant Varma

Legal Experts: FIR Can Be Lodged Against Justice Yashwant Varma

A judge named Yashwant Varma lived in a big house in Delhi, India.

One night, there was a fire at his house, and firefighters found a lot of burnt money inside.

People wondered where all that money came from, so special leaders in Parliament set up a committee to look into it.

The committee said the judge could not explain where the money came from and found him guilty.

Before Parliament could vote on removing him, the judge quit his job.

Now, legal experts are deciding whether the police should file a criminal case against him.

Some experts say yes, because he is no longer a judge and no longer has a judge's special protections.

Others say it is not that simple and the case needs more thought.

Everyone agrees the matter should be fully investigated.
