India welcomes US's move to label Pahalgam attack group as terror outfit
5:45 In a significant development, Justice Yashwant Verma has approached the Supreme Court with a writ petition challenging the findings of a three-judge in-house inquiry panel against him in the 'Cash Hall case'. The petition seeks to quash the panel's report, which found strong inferential evidence, and also challenges the subsequent recommendation for his impeachment made by then Chief Justice of India, Sanjeev Khanna. Justice Verma contends that the inquiry violated the principles of natural justice, alleging he was denied a fair hearing and the opportunity to cross-examine witnesses. He states, "Inquiring committee erroneously shifted the burden of proof on him, requiring him to disprove a fact that the committee presumed fantasy to be true." The move is strategically timed ahead of the Parliament's monsoon session, where an impeachment motion was anticipated.
