Additionally, it discusses new details emerging from the inquiry report on the cash haul case involving Justice Yashwant Varma. A Supreme Court-appointed panel has indicted a High Court judge in a corruption case involving unexplained cash. The Chief Justice of India has recommended impeachment after the judge refused to step down. Sources say the government may move an impeachment motion in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament. The process requires backing from MPs and a two-thirds majority vote in both Houses. The judge has rejected the panel's findings as motivated and false.
