Observing that Justice Yashwant Varma's conduct does not inspire confidence, the Supreme Court on Wednesday posed sharp questions to the judge seeking invalidation of a report by an in-house inquiry panel which found him guilty of misconduct in the cash discovery row, reported news agency PTI.

The top court asked Justice Varma why he appeared before the in-house inquiry committee and did not challenge it then and there.

It told Justice Varma that he should have come earlier to the apex court against the in-house inquiry panel's report, reported PTI.
