कैश केस- जस्टिस वर्मा की सुप्रीम कोर्ट में याचिका: इसमें 5 सवाल और 10 तर्क; बोले- घर से नोट मिलना साबित नहीं करता कि ये मेरे

Justice Verma’s Lutyens was found sacks filled with bundles of 500-500 rupees from the official residence in Delhi.

Justice Yashwant Verma filed a petition in the Supreme Court on Friday, three days before the monsoon session of Parliament began. He requested to cancel the in-house committee report and the recommendation of impeachment.

Justice Verma argues that he does not prove to be involved in this case by just recovery of cash on the outskirts of his residence. Because the Internal Investigation Committee did not decide whose cash or how it was found in the premises.

Questioning the findings of the committee, they have argued- they are based on estimates. Justice Verma is not named in the petition, but in the Supreme Court Diary it has been recorded from the title of ‘XXX vs. Government of India and others’.

Justice Verma has said in the petition that the committee should have answered these 5 questions on the recovery of notes-

According to Justice Verma, the report does not have answers to these questions, so no blame can be imposed against him.

This picture is on 14 March. 500-500 notes were burnt in the fire in Justice Yashwant Verma’s house.

10 arguments of Justice Verma in the petition …

1. The impeachment recommendation sent to the President and the Prime Minister is a violation of Articles 124 and 218.
2. The in-house process made in the 1999 full court meeting is only administrative system, not constitutional or legal. It cannot be made the basis of serious decisions like removing the judge from the post.
3. The inquiry committee was constituted with only estimates and unproven information without formal complaint. This is against the basic objective of the in-house process.
4. On 22 March 2025, the allegations were publicly mentioned in a press release. This led to the media trial and his reputation was deeply damaged.
5. Neither showed evidence, nor gave an opportunity to denote allegations. The main witnesses were questioned in my absence. CCTV footage was not taken as evidence.
6. Who kept the cash, whether it was real or not, ignored the original questions like the fire.
7. The report of the committee was based on estimates and prior concepts, not on any concrete evidence. It is insufficient to prove serious misconduct.
8. Within hours of receiving the investigation report, the then Chief Justice warned of resigning or facing impeachment. Did not give an opportunity to keep the side.
9. In the previous cases, the judges had a chance of personal hearing. The tradition was ignored in this case.
10. Instead of keeping the report confidential, its parts were leaked and distorted in the media, which tarnished the image which would never be compensated.

Impeachment motion will come in Parliament … Work Minister Kiren Rijiju has said that there is complete preparation to bring impeachment motion in Parliament against Allahabad High Court Justice Yashwant Verma. All parties have been talked about and Parliament’s opinion is united.

He said- Discussion with senior leaders of almost all major political parties. I will also talk to the parties who have only one MP, so that this stance of Parliament is unanimous.

At the same time, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said that this decision is not of the government but of MPs. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has said that his party MPs will also sign the impeachment motion. That is, both the opposition and the ruling party are in favor of constitutional action.

Congress bid- Former CJI forced MPs to take steps

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said on Friday that the then Chief Justice (CJI) Sanjeev Khanna sent a letter to the President and the Prime Minister forcing the MPs to take this step. Ramesh said-

This proposal is not to form an inquiry committee under the 1968 Judges (Inquiry) Act, not impeachment. This committee will investigate and submit a report and then action will be taken in Parliament.

Opposition will also raise the case of Justice Shekhar Yadav Ramesh also reiterated that the opposition would also raise the case of Justice Shekhar Yadav, who is accused of making communal speech. Last December, 55 MPs in the Rajya Sabha proposed against him, but no action has been taken so far.

Understand what is the cash scandal of Justice Verma

Justice Verma’s bungalow in Lutyens was on fire at 11:35 pm on March 14. It was extinguished by the personnel of the fire department. Justice Verma was out of the city at the time of the incident.

On March 21, some reports claimed that 15 crore cash was received from Justice Verma’s house. Many notes were burnt.

On March 22, CJI Sanjeev Khanna formed a three -member committee to investigate the allegations against Justice Verma. The panel submitted its report to CJI on 4 May. In this, Justice Verma was convicted.

Based on the report, CJI Khanna had recommended the removal of Justice Verma from the government under the ‘In-House Procedure’. The inqu

Investigation report came out on June 19 The report of the Supreme Court panel investigating the cash case was revealed on June 19. The 64 -page report said that Justice Yashwant Verma and his family members had a secret or active control on the store room.

In the 10 -day investigation, 55 witnesses were questioned and the official residence of Justice Verma was visited. The report stated that there are enough facts in the allegations. The allegations are so serious that action should be initiated to remove Justice Verma.

The store room was found here after the fire.

Statements of 55 people recorded; Witness, who said what

Siriti recorded the statements of 55 witnesses. These include 11 of Delhi Fire Service, 14 of Delhi Police, 6 of CRPF, 18 people of Domestic and Court Staff of Justice Verma, Justice Verma and his daughter etc.

• While recording the statement of March 23, Ankit Sehwag, an officer of Delhi Fire Services, said, ‘I am Pradeep Kumar and Parvinder Malik (fire employee) that the store room was on fire. Currency notes are burning there. I saw in the light of the flashlight. Many 500 rupee notes were half burnt there. The notes were wet with water and some parts were burnt by the fire, but it was clear that it was Rs 500. There were notes.
• CRPF and security personnel said, ‘There was a lock on the door of the store room. No one could be allowed without. Some had helped to break the door.

5 big things of the report …

• Eyewitnesses saw the burnt notes: 10 eyewitnesses saw half the burnt cash, including Delhi Fire Service, police officers. All of them saw piles of burnt notes in the store room of Justice Verma’s house.
• Justice Verma did not deny: Electronic evidence (video-photographs of the store room) confirm the statements of eyewitnesses. Justice Verma has also not denied videos and allegations taken at the scene.
• Domestic employees took out notes: Justice Verma’s two domestic employees Rahil/Hanuman councilors Sharma and Rajinder Singh Karki took out the burnt notes from the store room. The viral video has made the voice of both of them match.
• Daughter made a wrong statement: Justice Verma’s daughter Diya made a wrong statement about the video. The employee refused to recognize the voice, while the employee himself admitted that the voice was his. No one could come without the permission of the family, so it is almost impossible to keep a note in the store room of a judge, as 1+4 security guards posted at the gate and a PSO monitoring at all times.
• Police did not report: Justice Verma called the incident of getting cash from the store room a conspiracy, but did not report to the police. Silently accepted transfer to Allahabad High Court. There was no account of cash, Justice Verma was unable to give account of it. Rather it said that someone had conspired against him.
