Supreme Court has dismissed the petition seeking FIR against Justice Yashwant Verma. This petition was filed by Advocate Mathews J Nedumpara. His petition was termed 'premature' by a two-judge bench headed by Justice Abhay Oak.
'Premature petition' means a petition filed before a final decision or action is taken in the related case.
Justice Abhay Oak said, "After the completion of the in-house investigation, many options are open. The CJI can order the registration of an FIR. Today is not the time to consider this. All options are open after the in-house report."
It has been alleged that a huge amount of cash was found from Justice Yashwant Verma's official residence in New Delhi. On March 14, a store room in his residence caught fire, where a large amount of cash was allegedly found.
At the same time, Justice Yashwant Verma claims that he or his family members never kept cash in the store room, and a conspiracy is being hatched against him.
Chief Justice of India Sanjeev Khanna has formed a committee of three judges to investigate this matter. It has also been decided that Justice Yashwant Verma should not be given any judicial responsibility for some time.
