Public sentiment exhibits significant outrage and skepticism towards the integrity of the judiciary amid corruption allegations against Justice Yashwant Varma. Many commenters demand accountability and systemic change, while there is also noticeable criticism towards those defending Varma, particularly Kapil Sibal. Overall, trust in the judicial system is eroding, and frustration is rampant regarding the impeachment process and its implications for true justice.

Threats he should be impeached already instead of transfer

Level-Negotiation721

Where is the investigation? He didn't get that money out of thin air, and he wouldn't be able to do it without others being involved. Investigate and prosecute every one of them.

charavaka

Just asked to resign? no details on what was found? 

He then gets to keep all the ill-gotten wealth? 
who is accountable for all the cash that got burnt?

haridavk

He will resign but will not be sent to jail. HC and SC judges have never been sent to jail for corruption

sas8184

Only impeachment? He should be put behind the bars. And what about the cases he has already adjudicated. Will they also be under scrutiny now?

Anyone surprised ? Anyone ????


Law honorable judges k lawde pe.

It's ironic that our great judiciary doesn't have to adhere to the very laws which they have sworn to uphold. 

The audacity to claim that an FIR is not needed as the matter is being handled internally is mind blowing. This is literally how kangaroo courts work.

He may be a bastard, but he's our bastard - Supreme Court

The judiciary of the SC is the only body in this country not answerable to anyone. Had the judiciary recommended just a transfer, no one could have done anything.
Even if they have recommended impeachment, it’ll be a monumental task to impeach a HC judge requiring a 2/3 majority. Keep in mind, no HC judge has ever been successfully impeached in India.

This is similar to asking Pakistan to put Hafiz Saeed in Jail.

Caste system don't exist sar.

Privileged communal favouritism and nepotism is the biggest unmeritocratic Reservation that has been going on South Asia for millenia

[deleted]

They've done everything they wanted to protect their reputation. They don't want real investigation to expose how deep the rot goes. 

i just want to know what happens if varma is impeached..   
can he then be tried as a normal citizen after that.. with the possibility of facing proper jailtime?

No_Specialist6036

Why should they ? The government must come to the court with the request to file an FIR against a current judge. The CJI then has to agree. Obviously you cannot evade the process via a PIL. Which idiot filed it in the courts lol?

For removing a corrupt judge we have to bring Parliament session. In which world we are even living?

Unable-Ad931

In our 76 years, no judge has been impeached. This is not just an impeachment, this could be a showdown between the executive and the judiciary. 

On one side, impeachment of a judge is a very complicated process. On other hand, a successful impeachment will be seen as a bad name on the judiciary. This is going to be an interesting situation. I have a feeling this judge will resign before the impeachment is passed.

Lage hath west bengal me AFSPA bhi laga do mota bhai! 🙂

JustGulabjamun

Good. Unfortunately, the way the judiciary has turned the law and order system into a tool for their own benefit, the only way to bring corrupt judges to book is by impeachment.

ididacannonball

Should also re-review all the cases that were given judgements by this guy.

Broke-Dev

Before that let the public have the knowledge on how much cash was recovered, how much was burnt and under whose custody is it now?

Oshodavinci

Govt should ramp up the pressure on judiciary, they tested govt’s patience for too long and yeeted out any attempt to reform them.

If only oppn also joined hands with ruling party in this..smh

maddy495

The amount of work good government need to do just to do something to this guy is crazy.

I can't fathom how privileged these judges are

Gla55_cannon

Bans dalna hai bhaiyo, It doesn't matter if the impeachment goes through or not; at least people will talk about this because, barring some Twitter and YouTube creators, nobody talked about this extensively.

akashsal2704

Dosto yaad rakhna unn ministers ke naam jo iske against rahe

Haunting_Cover2342

Idiot. Doesn't even know how to take a bribe. He should be impeached for being stupid.

Aur punishment k naam pe kya mila hai... Just a transfer order!! There are more to this story, more judges name will come out. The judiciary is sold

just shite everywhere bro is getting transferred. same with pooja singhal literal joke of a system

If any other citizen accused of the exact same crime was bought to his court, he would’ve jailed them. But obviously a transfer will teach him. Even impeachment is too soft for this shameless man.

viserys8769

Mera 70% tax yaha jaa raha hai. Tabhi mai sochu tax dene ke baad bhi mujhe khud ka security dekhna hai, khud ko education manage karna hai khud a heath ka paisa bharna hai, khud ka vakeel karna hai agar koi mere hi ghar mai chori kar le, khud hi GST waalo ke notice bharne hai agar mera vendor GST bina pay kare defaulter hai jisko govt ne GST no. and license diya hai, even if I purchased and paid full tax, all that after paying a freaking 70% in direct and indirect taxes. Kyunki saara paisa judges ko handle karne mai, MLA ko khareedne mai, Ads chalane mai jaata hai taaki woh log power mai bane rahe aur unke andhbhakt sirf aur sirf berojgaar hoke gundagardi kare.

Cyberstone

I was reading a report that in India last 11 years corruption has increased by 73%....Totalling at overall corruption at 84% in the country....All the government departments/ Sectors have the corruption at average to 77%.... Even private sector has the corruption at averages to 7%...
Judiciary, Police and Healthcare are the most corrupt departments...Followed by Contracting and Finance banking.....Vote Wisely

Interesting_One_2899

Right now, a corrupt judge’s worst punishment isn’t prison, it’s retirement with a fat pension

AggressiveBaker518

hell-yeah-roger

I know that he is one of the corrupt judges. Now I doubt all his judgements because all were done in favour of money. 
He didn't care about the victims. 
He's not justice or honorable, he is just corrupt and most useless person on the bench.

They transferred him , in oz they would have cancelled his Licence to practice in any law firm. 100 mein 100 beiman fir bhi mera desh mahan

Kya inki di gyi sab judgments ka review hoga?

Of course, why not - it's UP - God's Own Toilet ✨️

BaconGarden

No judge in India can now pass judgement in bribery cases. They have forfeited that right today.

Minute_Helicopter397

Now, the MiLord will get to write a 300 word essay on Corruption in Indian Judiciary? And probably, he will get away with it. Of all, judiciary is the most opaque, nepotism ridden, corrupt and aristocratic. And the worst part ... there is hardly any real conversations and awareness amongst the general public regarding this. Shame.

littlekid2511

Corrupt Bureaucracy, Sold journalism and now Judiciary. Congrats the three pillars of democracy have fallen.

InjuryHealthy2773

The point raised in parliament is correct, too. Had a normal citizen, politician, or bearcat been in the judge's shoes, he/she would have been in a state worse than this. Immediately, departments like IT, ED, etc. would have also been called upon and involved.

This case may open can of worms. Justice Myanmar would definitely be having dirt on other justices..not like he is the only one to allegedly have taken bribe. 

He might expose skeletons from multiple folks' closets

Ecstatic_Detail_6721

He can take early retirement, when he will see his impeachment will happen. Then live happily with pension. Same happened for judge of bengal high court.

have-faith-101

We had one impeachment trial before, though it didn't pass through the parliament.

PermissionFederal433

He will probably resign first if that is going to happen.

we got a judge Impeachment before GTA 6.🥹

ReputationOptimal610

nothing will happen, the impeachment requires both judicial scrutiny and parliamentary oversight that too with ⅔rd majority. the previous impeachment case either ended in resignation or failed majority.

Motor_Film_1209

Impeachment of judges and suspension of advocates should be made a common thing now , corrupt judges are easily bypassing justice , there should be deterrence or checks to maintain justice. It’s not like people don’t know there is a presence of corruption in judiciary and have blind faith .

Are bhai pehle se kyu batana hai? Resign kar dega wo nahi to

naamjaankekyakarogee

Does it not feel very fabricated though? Cash found in outhouse, burnt, by servants, while he was on a vacation? 
Won’t any judge keep that cash in his house if he is taking bribes? I am not implying he is innocent, he might or night not be corrupt, but this ‘finding cash while dousing the fire’ seems fabricated

gorgeouspuppers

So the judge is guilty of hoarding cash? How about prosecuting him now? Like actual jail time

stoikrus1

The Supreme Court's recommendation to impeach Justice Yashwant Varma over illegal cash and breach of public trust raises serious questions about judicial accountability in India.
