Lawyers Demand FIR Against Justice Varma, Push for Judicial Transparency

Senior lawyers, including Mahesh Jethmalani, have called for greater transparency and reform within India's judiciary. They questioned why no FIR was registered following the discovery of cash at the residence of Justice Yashwant Varma. Chief Justice Surya Kant defended the existing internal mechanism for handling complaints against judges. He argued that most such complaints stem from litigants dissatisfied with unfavorable court rulings. Legal professionals also raised concerns over the lack of transparency in judicial appointments and transfers.
