FIR can now be filed against Justice Yashwant Varma

Justice Yashwant Varma, a former judge of the Allahabad High Court, can now face a criminal investigation after being found guilty of hiding cash at his official residence. The Lok Sabha Speaker's panel concluded that the allegations of unexplained cash, disturbing evidence, and evasive explanations were proven. While some legal experts argue that the impeachment process has become moot due to Varma's resignation, others maintain that an FIR can still be registered against him.

The panel's report has now been submitted to Parliament, and Varma has already tendered his resignation. The government should now take steps to lodge an FIR and conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
