The Supreme Court on Monday began hearing a petition filed by Justice Yashwant Varma of the Allahabad High Court, who is challenging the findings of an in-house judicial inquiry that held him guilty of misconduct in connection with the discovery of half-burnt currency notes at his official residence in Delhi. A Bench comprising Justices Dipankar Datta and A.G. Masih posed sharp questions over the petition’s framing and the conduct of the judge.
