Justice Varma Must Face Accountability Despite Resignation From Inquiry

Justice Varma is a judge who was being investigated by a special committee because cash was found, and he had to explain what happened.

Instead of answering, he decided to resign from his job and stop taking part in the investigation.

He wrote a long letter saying the committee was not fair to him.

He said the committee removed witnesses who would have helped him, did not give him enough time to reply, and did not share evidence that could prove his innocence.

The committee says his complaints are not true.

The committee also noticed that his story kept changing every time he told it.

At first, he said he knew nothing about any cash, and later he said the evidence was not collected or stored properly.

He quit right before he was supposed to bring his own witnesses and explain his side fully.

The committee believes a judge should not be allowed to escape responsibility just by resigning.

So now there is a debate about whether he should still be held accountable.
