GK and monthly revision
Justice Varma’s withdrawal from probe cannot end statutory inquiry, says Lok Sabha panel
A Lok Sabha panel ruled that Justice Varma's withdrawal from a statutory inquiry cannot halt the proceedings, emphasizing that such inquiries cannot depend on a judge's unilateral decision, especially after substantial evidence has been recorded. The panel noted Justice Varma was given a reasonable opportunity to present his case. This highlights the constitutional principle of accountability of higher judiciary and the role of parliamentary committees in judicial oversight, a key topic for polity and governance sections.
