Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla says a probe committee report on corruption charges against Justice Yashwant Varma will be tabled in the upcoming Monsoon Session. Birla’s announcement follows calls from Members of Parliament across party lines for the report to be presented in the House. He indicates that the report may be tabled on the session’s first day, and that the Lok Sabha will then decide the next steps. The report is tied to allegations of financial irregularities linked to a fire incident at Varma’s Delhi residence last year. Varma resigned in April after impeachment proceedings were initiated. The impeachment process followed the recovery of burnt currency notes from his residence, which became a central element in the allegations being examined. Sources also report that the timing of tabling is intended to move the matter forward in the parliamentary process, even though Varma is no longer in office. Birla’s statement frames the tabling as an administrative step that allows MPs to consider subsequent action based on the contents of the report.
