New Delhi: Two lawyers will assist the committee probing corruption allegations against Allahabad High Court judge Yashwant Varma.
Rohan Singh and Sameeksha Dua have been appointed as consultants to assist the three-member committee constituted to investigate the grounds for the removal of Justice Varma.
Justice Varma was repatriated from the Delhi High Court to the Allahabad High Court after burnt wads of currency notes were found at his official residence here on March 14.
A Supreme Court-appointed inquiry panel, headed by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, investigated the incident.
The then Chief Justice of India, Sanjiv Khanna, recommended to President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi that impeachment proceedings be initiated against Justice Varma.
