Justice Yashwant Varma, currently facing a removal motion in Parliament after bundles of cash were recovered from his official residence in Delhi, has filed a petition in the Supreme Court without disclosing his identity.
The plea, titled “XXX vs Union of India", challenges the findings of an in-house inquiry panel and the recommendation by the then Chief Justice of India for his removal.
Justice Varma used the anonymised title “XXX" in the petition, a practice typically applied in cases involving sexual assault survivors or minors. The Supreme Court has previously directed that the identities of such petitioners remain protected, including in judgments.
