CJI to Hear Petition on Allahabad High Court Judge's Removal

CJI to Hear Petition on Allahabad High Court Judge's Removal

Imagine a judge, Justice Varma, is possibly in trouble, and now the Chief Justice is deciding what to do about it.

Some people think the way the situation is being handled is unfair.

Basically, someone found money in the judge's house after a fire.

Then, some important people said the judge should be removed.

Now, the judge's lawyers are saying this process is wrong and should be reviewed by the Supreme Court.

They think the special inquiry that was done is not allowed and that only Parliament can remove a judge in that fashion, as it has special rules for doing so.

The Chief Justice of India will form a special group of judges to listen to the case and make a decision.
