‘Centre Is Handicapped’: VP Dhankhar Warns Of ‘Ides Of March’ In Judge Cash-At-Home Row

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar reiterated Justice Yashwant Varma’s case and said that the government was handicapped due to a three-decade-old judicial order that prevented it from registering a First Information Report (FIR) without prior permission from the judiciary. Dhankhar, who is on a two-day visit to Kerala, has interacted with students and faculty at the National University of Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS), Kochi. He stressed that several legal provisions appear to have been violated and expressed hope that an FIR would be filed promptly. Referring to Ides of March film, the Vice President said that the judiciary had ‘Ides of March’ on the night intervening 14th and 15th March.#vpdhankhar #justiceyashwantvarma #cashscandal #judiciary #impeachment #judicialaccountability #idesofmarch #indiapolitics #toi #toibharat
