Impeachment Motion Against Justice Varma Not Admitted in Rajya Sabha
Imagine a judge, Justice Varma, had a lot of money found in his home.
Some people in the government wanted to remove him from his job, so they started a process called impeachment.
They tried to do this in a special meeting place called the Rajya Sabha, but it didn't work.
Now, a different group in another meeting place, the Lok Sabha, will try instead.
Meanwhile, Justice Varma doesn't agree with the findings and is going to the highest court, the Supreme Court, to argue his case.
The Supreme Court will listen to him and make a decision.
Impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Varma not admitted in Rajya Sabha.
The motion was submitted by Opposition members over currency notes found at his home.
A government-sponsored motion will be taken up in the Lok Sabha.
Justice Varma challenged the inquiry committee's report in the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the plea and will constitute a bench.
