VP Dhankhar criticizes the lack of FIR in Justice Varma's case. Supreme Court's in-house probe questioned for lack of authority. Calls for judicial transparency and accountability amid allegations.

VP Dhankhar Questions FIR Absence in Judge Case

Vice President Dhankhar raises issues over the absent FIR in Justice Varma's case. Suggests judiciary enjoys undue immunity amidst corruption investigations, pressing for transparency and accountability.

VP Dhankhar criticizes the lack of FIR in Justice Varma's case

VP Jagdeep Dhankhar questions absence of an FIR in a case involving Justice Yashwant Varma. Concerns over judiciary's immunity amid corruption allegations spark calls for transparency and prompt action.

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday questioned the lack of an FIR in the discovery of wads of burnt cash case from the residence of a high court judge, wondering whether a "category beyond law" has secured immunity from prosecution.
The Supreme Court ordered an in-house probe into the alleged discovery of half-burnt wads of cash from Justice Yashwant Varma's residence after a fire on the night of Holi on March 14. Justice Varma has now been repatriated from the Delhi High Court to his parent high court of Allahabad.
Dhankhar also questioned the legal standing of the three-judge panel carrying out an in-house probe into the matter.
Referring to the case, he said every Indian is deeply concerned.
"If the event had taken place at his (common man's) house, the speed would have been an electronic rocket. Now it is not even a cattle cart." Dhankhar said while a committee of three judges is probing the matter, an investigation is the domain of the executive and not the judiciary.
He said the committee has not been set up under any provision of the Constitution or law.
"And what can the committee do? The committee can at the most make a recommendation. Recommendation to whom? And for what? "The kind of mechanism we have for judges, the only action finally that can be taken is by Parliament (by way of removal of the judge)," he said.
The committee report, Dhankhar said, "inherently lacks legal standing".
"It is now over a month. Even if it is a can of worms, even if there are skeletons in the cupboard, (it's) time to blow up the can, time for its lid to go out, and time for the cupboard to collapse. Let the worms and skeletons be in the public domain so that cleansing takes place," Dhankhar said here addressing a group of Rajya Sabha interns.
He said for seven days no one knew about the incident.
"We have to ask questions to ourselves. Is the delay explainable? Condonable? Does it not raise certain fundamental questions? In any ordinary situation, things would have been different," he said.
After the incident was confirmed by the top court, it became clear that something required to be investigated, he said.
"Now the nation waits with bated breath. The nation is restive because one of our institutions, to which people have looked up always with the highest respect and deference, was put in the dock," he said.
Emphasising the significance of the rule of law, he said in a democracy purity of its criminal justice system defines its direction.
He said no investigation under the law is in progress at the moment due to the lack of an FIR.
"It is law of the land that every cognisable offence is required to be reported to the police and failure to do so, and failure to report a cognisable offence is a crime. Therefore, you all will be wondering why there has been no FIR," he said.
An FIR, Dhankhar pointed out, can be registered against anyone, any constitutional functionary including the vice president.
"One has only to activate the rule of law. No permission is required. But if it is judges, their category, FIR cannot be straightaway registered. It has to be approved by the concerned in the judiciary," he said.
He underlined that the Constitution has accorded immunity from prosecution only to the president and the governors.
"So how come a category beyond law has secured this immunity?" he wondered.
Underscoring the importance of transparency, the vice president referred to a decision of a Lokpal bench that it possessed the jurisdiction to investigate corruption complaints against high court judges.
He said taking a suo motu cognisance, the apex court stayed the order on the grounds of independence of the judiciary.
"This independence is not a protection. This independence is not some kind of impregnable cover against inquiry, investigation or probe.
"Institutions thrive with transparency, with there being probe. The surest way to degenerate an institution or an individual is to give total guarantee there will be no inquiry, no scrutiny, no probe," Dhankhar said.

Just before the adjournment, BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi had started speaking on the discussion on a motion to thank the President for her address to the joint sitting of Parliament.

 'First time in history': anguished Dhankhar on Kharge entering Rajya Sabha Well

Just before the adjournment, BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi had started speaking on the discussion on a motion to thank the President for her address to the joint sitting of Parliament.

Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday expressed anguish over Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge trooping into the Well of the House during an opposition protest, saying it is for the first time that a person occupying the post has engaged in such conduct.
On Friday, the House witnessed three adjournments due to protests and sloganeering by the opposition.
Soon after laying of the listed papers on the table of the House during the morning session, Dhankhar informed that he has not accepted 22 notices by the opposition leaders to suspend the scheduled business of the day and take up discussion on the alleged irregularities in the NEET.
This led to protest by the MPs of the opposition parties. They started raising slogans and several of them entered into the Well, leading to adjournment of the proceedings.
Just before the adjournment, BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi had started speaking on the discussion on a motion to thank the President for her address to the joint sitting of Parliament.
When the House reassembled, there were almost similar scenes and the speech of Trivedi was disrupted.
At one point, Kharge too entered the Well of the House to join the opposition protest.
Dhankhar remarked that the act of coming into the Well by a leader of the opposition has happened for the first time in the history and become a "stain" for Parliament.
"I am pained and surprised that Indian parliamentary tradition will stoop to such low that the leader of the opposition will troop into the Well," he said, before adjourning the proceedings till 2 pm.
Later again, he referred to the incident.
"The kind of conduct, ignoble conduct, a conduct that will hurt every Indian, will put this institution to shame. We are here elected, get the prestige of being members of the upper house, the house of elders. If in this House we conduct ourselves in this unruly manner, it is most unfortunate," the chairman said.
The House later took up the discussions on the motion of the thanks before adjourning for the day around 6 pm.
Rajya Sabha will meet again at 11 am on Monday.

Mallikarjun Kharge objected to the deletion of some of his remarks made during a statement in the Parliament.

'Vajpayee said this', 'chief whip Harvard student': Kharge vs Rajya Sabha chairman over expunged remarks

Mallikarjun Kharge objected to the deletion of some of his remarks made during a statement in the Parliament.

A face-off broke out in the Rajya Sabha on 9 February 2023 after Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge objected to the deletion of some of his remarks made during a statement in the Parliament.
The Congress MP said, "In my speech, there was no unparliamentary language or allegations against anyone. But you pick and choose some words. I wouldn't say that you didn't understand. But if you had some doubt, then you could've enquired in a different manner. But in 6 places, you expunged what I said, like 'Mouni Baba'."
To this, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar said, "What I have expunged should not be used."
Kharge responded, "Narasimha Rao was called this by Vajpayee. Check in the records."
Then defending fellow MP Jairam Ramesh, the Congress chief said, "When the Chief Whip says something on behalf of the party, you repeatedly object by saying 'this is wrong', 'you sit down', 'you read'. He's very well-educated. He was a student at Harvard University. He speaks Hindi, Kannada, English. Which other languages should he speak? He knows parliamentary language."

Dhankar added, " If there is still any doubt, kindly spare time to see me in my chamber during lunch recess. You will be feasted with food of your choice."

Following Banerjee's pronouncement, Dhankar took a dig at her by claiming that as Governor, he's mandated by law to ensure that no one "blocks" Constitutional norms.
A day earlier, the Governor had reportedly said that Bengal was becoming a "gas chamber for democracy".&nbsp;Dhankar had made the remarks while attending an event to mark the 74th&nbsp;death anniversary of the father of the nation, MK Gandhi.&nbsp;The Governor reportedly said that Bengal was getting drenched in blood due to violence, and becoming a laboratory for trampling of human rights. He also asked Banerjee to engage with him, instead of being confrontational.
Banerjee and Dhankar have had an acrimonious relationship since the latter's appointment in 2019.&nbsp;While the Trinamool Congress administration has accused the Governor of trying to interfere and block government work, Dhankar has claimed to be upholding Constitutional principles.
