Justice Yashwant Varma requests legal counsel: Who represents him?
This week, Senior Advocates Siddharth Agarwal and Arundhati Katju, along with advocates Tara Narula, Stuti Gujral, and another attorney, visited Justice Varma's home on Monday and Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Justice Yashwant Varma convened with a group of lawyers to seek legal guidance ahead of his testimony before an internal inquiry panel set up by the Supreme Court to investigate the alleged cash confiscation from his residence on March 14.
This week, Justice Varma's residence hosted visits from Senior Advocates Siddharth Agarwal and Arundhati Katju, along with advocates Tara Narula, Stuti Gujral, and one additional lawyer on both Monday and Wednesday.
The inquiry panel, which includes Justice Sheel Nagu (Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court), Justice GS Sandhawalia (Chief Justice of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh), and Justice Anu Sivaraman (Judge of the Karnataka High Court), is presently in Delhi and is anticipated to meet with Justice Varma several times within the week.
According to insiders, the judge is carefully preparing his statements for the inquiry panel, as these will significantly influence any future proceedings on the issue.
"A lot is at stake with these proceedings. This may lead to impeachment and potential criminal charges," remarked a well-informed source familiar with the legal advice being sought.
