NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Rajya Sabha deputy chairman Harivansh, who is the officiating chairman of the House since the resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar, have started the process for committee formation for the removal motion of Allahabad high court’s Justice Yashwant Varma.Sources confirmed that Birla is set to announce the three-member committee in Lok Sabha in the next 8-10 days, after verification of signatures in the two notices, one submitted to him and the other in Rajya Sabha by opposition MPs.“The signature verification as well as the the due process will be reviewed before the formation of the three-member committee, which will be announced in the next 8-10 days,” a senior functionary said.He also confirmed that the motion for removal of Justice Varma, accused in ‘cash-in-kothi scam’, will be taken up in Lok Sabha in the winter session after the committee submits its findings.The functionary confirmed that the committee formation will be done in consultation with Harivansh. “Both notices will be examined to see that they are in order, as per the stipulated rules after which the notice will be admitted and the committee formed,” he further said.Govt sources said the notice signed by 152 MPs submitted to Birla on July 21 is now the “property of the House”, and that consultations have begun for the formation of the three-member committee, which will include either the Chief Justice of India or a Supreme Court judge, a high court chief justice and a distinguished jurist.Since a similar notice signed by 63 opposition MPs was submitted to then Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on the same day, the upper House is also part of the consultation process. As part of the process, the Lok Sabha speaker is expected to write to the CJI, seeking his recommendation on the two judges, while the choice of the distinguished jurist is his prerogative.Since the notices were submitted, home minister Amit Shah, leader of the house in Rajya Sabha J P Nadda, Birla and Harivansh have been part of deliberations over the future course of action.On Thursday, Birla and Harivansh held a meeting with senior functionaries from the two Houses as they discussed the process.
