Yashwant Varma Might Become India’s First Impeached Judge
Following the claimed finding of ₹15 crore in undeclared cash at his house on March 14, 2025, Justice Yashwant Varma of the Delhi High Court faces possible impeachment. Articles 124(4) and 218 of the Indian Constitution specify impeachment under Articles 2-thirds majority in both Houses, a motion, and a judicial inquiry. While 62 Opposition MPs have sent an impeachment notice, the Supreme Court Collegium has started an internal inquiry. Precedent implies Varma would step down should he be found guilty within political wrangle and public pressure. Should he object, he might be the first judge in India to be effectively impeached.
