The Supreme Court on Wednesday reserved the verdict after hearing the petition of Justice Yashwant Verma. The Supreme Court has questioned the conduct of Justice Verma. The court said that his behavior is not trustworthy and asked if he objected to the process of the inquiry committee, then why did he not challenge him at the same time.
Justice Dipankar Dutta and Justice A.G. Christ said that Justice Verma should have already come to the Supreme Court, not now that the inquiry committee has found him guilty.
During the hearing, senior advocate Kapil Sibal on behalf of Justice Verma argued that impeachment is the process of Parliament. It is wrong to recommend impeachment by the Chief Justice (CJI).
In fact, the petition of Justice Yashwant Verma appeals to cancel the in-house committee report and the recommendation of impeachment. In the report, Justice Verma has been convicted for getting cash in the house.
In the petition, Justice Verma said- I do not prove to get a note from the house that they were mine
On July 18, Justice Verma filed a petition in the Supreme Court. In this, he argued that the recovery of cash on the exterior of his residence does not prove that they are involved in it, as the internal inquiry committee did not decide whose cash or how it was found in the premises.
Questioning the findings of the committee, they have argued- this is 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 asks for answers to 5 questions
Justice Verma has sought answers to 5 questions in his petition, as well as 10 arguments, on the basis of which the inquiry committee has been requested to cancel the report and cancel the recommendation of impeachment.
