The visuals, which show charred currency notes, have intensified discussions on judicial accountability. In response, the Supreme Court has launched an in-house probe into the matter to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Justice Varma, however, has dismissed the allegations, calling it a “conspiracy” against him. The controversy has sparked debates within legal circles, with many emphasizing the need for transparency and impartiality in judicial investigations.
As the probe unfolds, the case is expected to raise critical questions about ethics and accountability within the judiciary.
