Lok Sabha will take up a bipartisan motion to remove Justice Yashwant Varma, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Friday (July 25, 2025), adding that it was a unanimous decision of all political parties, and that 152 MPs from the ruling alliance and the Opposition have signed the motion.
Mr. Rijiju said all parties had agreed that the removal of Justice Varma should be a joint call, adding that the proceedings will be taken up in Lok Sabha and then move to Rajya Sabha in line with the Judges (Inquiry) Act.

“We shouldn’t remain in any doubt, proceedings will begin in the Lok Sabha,” he said. His remarks have to be seen in the backdrop of an Opposition-sponsored motion that was moved in the Rajya Sabha on July 21, the same day the process was set rolling in the Lok Sabha.
Official sources said the notice in the Rajya Sabha has not been admitted.
