The inquiry report concerning Justice Yashwant Varma is scheduled to be presented in the Lok Sabha on August 12, 2026. This report comes after allegations regarding partially burnt currency notes found in an outhouse at Justice Varma's official residence.
The investigation was initiated by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, who formed a committee to look into the matter on August 15, 2025, under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968. The committee conducted its probe and submitted its findings to the Lok Sabha Speaker in May.
According to reports, the inquiry has generated considerable interest, particularly regarding the implications it might have for judicial conduct and accountability.
