India’s lower house of parliament has initiated rare impeachment proceedings against Allahabad High Court judge Yashwant Varma after Speaker Om Birla admitted a motion backed by 146 members of the Lok Sabha. Birla has appointed a three-member committee—headed by Supreme Court judge Arvind Kumar and including Chief Justice Maninder Mohan Srivastava—to examine allegations of corruption against the judge. The panel will submit its findings to the House; any removal of a judge requires approval by two-thirds of both parliamentary chambers. Lawmakers across party lines said they would await the committee’s report before commenting further, while urging a swift and transparent process.
