Allahabad High Court judge Shekhar Kumar Yadav will retire on April 15 while impeachment proceedings against him remain incomplete. The controversy over his remarks on Muslims ends without trial as the constitutional process lapses with his retirement.
The Lok Sabha inquiry committee has accelerated hearings in the impeachment-related probe against Justice Yashwant Varma to avoid delay due to an impending retirement of a panel member.
The inquiry concerns allegations of unaccounted cash found at his official residence and is being conducted in camera under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968.
