The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain a petition seeking the registration of an FIR against Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma in connection with the alleged recovery of large amounts of partially burnt cash from his official residence after a fire incident.
The bench was chaired by Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan said that the report of the in-house inquiry committee, along with the response of the third respondent, had already been forwarded to President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that the petitioners should first approach them.
“CJI has forwarded the report of the in house inquiry committee along with the response of the third respondent to the President and prime minister. Before the petitioner seeks writ of mandamus the petitioner will have to redressal of their grievance by filing representation before appropriate authorities,” the court said, as per the bar and bench.
The court stated, “The petitioner has not done that therefore we decline to entertain the petition. At this stage we don’t find it necessary to look into the other prayers.”
