NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday reserved its verdict on a plea filed by Allahabad High Court Justice Yashwant Varma -- who faces impeachment proceedings following the cash-discovery row -- challenging the decision of the Lok Sabha Speaker to constitute a three-member inquiry committee against him under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968.
A Bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma reserved the verdict after hearing extensive arguments from all sides.
The bench, meanwhile, rejected Justice Varma’s plea for additional time to appear before the inquiry committee.
