Om Birla
announced that a three-member panel has been constituted to investigate allegations against High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma.
The members of the committee include Justice Amit Kumar, Justice Maninder Mohan Srivastava and B B Acharya, the Lok Sabha Speaker announced.
Birla accepted the motion signed by 146 MPs for impeachment of Justice Yashwant Verma.
The Supreme Court had on August 7, held that an in-house inquiry procedure which led to a recommendation to remove Justice Yashwant Varma, an Allahabad High Court judge in whose residential premises burnt currency was found after a fire, has legal sanction.
The apex court dismissed a plea filed by Justice Varma challenging the in-house inquiry panel's report, and the former Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna's recommendation to initiate impeachment proceedings against him in the case of the fire incident that led to recovery of burnt unaccounted cash at his official residence in the national capital, when he was a sitting judge of the Delhi High Court.

Savarkar defamation case: Lawyer withdraws plea claiming 'threat' to Rahul Gandhi
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's lawyer on Thursday (August 14, 2025) withdrew from a Pune court the plea claiming apprehension of threat to the Parliamentarian from followers of Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. The lawyer Milind Pawar said the court has accepted withdrawal of the plea. Earlier on Wednesday (August 13, 2025), hours after filing the plea, the lawyer said it was filed without Mr. Gandhi's consent and would be withdrawn. Mr. Pawar is representing Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case filed by Satyaki Savarkar, grand-nephew of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, over certain statements made by the Congress leader against the late freedom fighter and Hindutva ideologue. Rahul Gandhi granted bail in Savarkar defamation case He drafted the application without consulting Mr. Gandhi and the latter has taken a "strong exception to the filing of this Pursis and expressed his disagreement with its contents," the lawyer said in a press release late Wednesday evening (August 13, 2025). The application filed by Mr. Pawar earlier on Wednesday (August 13, 2025) said complainant Satyaki Savarkar had admitted that he is also a direct descendant, through maternal lineage, of Nathuram Godse and Gopal Godse, principal accused in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. 'Rahul Gandhi is the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and recently held a press conference in Delhi, placing before the nation evidence of electoral fraud by the Election Commission,' the application said. Remarks on Savarkar: Supreme Court stays summons to Rahul Gandhi in defamation case "Furthermore, during the Parliamentary debate on the subject of Hindutva, there was a heated exchange between the Prime Minister and Shri Rahul Gandhi, a matter well known to the public. Against this backdrop, there is little doubt that the complainant, his great-grandfathers (the Godses), those connected with the ideology of Vinayak Savarkar, and some followers of Savarkar who are presently in power, may harbour hostility or resentment towards Gandhi," the application said. "In light of the documented history of violent and anti-constitutional tendencies linked to the complainant's lineage, and considering the prevailing political climate, there exists a clear, reasonable, and substantial apprehension that Rahul Gandhi may face harm, wrongful implication, or other forms of targeting by persons subscribing to the ideology of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar," the application stated. The Pune court has already granted bail to Rahul Gandhi in the defamation case. The trial is yet to begin. Satyaki Savarkar had filed a defamation complaint against Rahul Gandhi, alleging that in a speech made in London in March 2023, the Congress leader claimed V.D. Savarkar had written in a book that he and five to six of his friends once beat up a Muslim man and he (Savarkar) felt happy. 'No such incident ever took place and V.D. Savarkar never wrote any such thing anywhere,' the complaint claimed.

'Samajwadi Party is like a frog in well': UP CM Yogi Adityanath criticizes party; says world is moving ahead but they remain confined to themselves
NEW DELHI: During a 24-hour discussion on the 'Vision Document 2047', Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday criticized the Samajwadi Party , saying the party is like a frog in a well — while the world moves ahead, they remain confined to themselves. He remarked, "Your (Samajwadi Party) family development authority is also an example of this, they only know how to remain limited to themselves. Swami Vivekananda had said about this in his stories." "The condition of Samajwadi Party is like that of a frog in a well. The world is moving ahead, but you only know how to remain confined to your families. And you want to do the same to Uttar Pradesh, " Yogi added. CM Yogi further elaborated on his observations while discussing the Vision Document: "When we were holding discussions on this Vision Document, I observed 2-3 things. Every Assembly constituency should benefit from government schemes and witness development. A developed Uttar Pradesh can realize the dream of a developed nation. I observed that some were talking less about development and more about power." The remarks underline the CM's focus on development over political interests and highlight his vision for inclusive growth across all constituencies in the state. Earlier today, Yogi Adityanath also criticized the Congress on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, calling the 1947 Partition a "dark chapter" resulting from appeasement politics that broke the unity of Sanatan Bharat and left deep scars on the nation, according to a press release. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi with reviving this forgotten history by declaring the day in 2021.
