Burning cash controversy
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court collegium on Monday issued a resolution repatriating Delhi high court judge Justice Yashwant Varma to the Allahabad high court in connection with a controversy from the discovery of a large amount of cash at the judge's official residence in the national capital earlier this month.
The decision came hours after Delhi high court chief justice DK Upadhyaya withdrew Justice Varma from judicial duties with immediate effect, and reassigned the cases handled by him to a different bench.
"The Supreme Court Collegium in its meetings held on 20th and 24th March 2025 has recommended repatriation of Mr. Justice Yashwant Varma, judge, high court of Delhi, to the high court of judicature at Allahabad," stated the resolution by the collegium.
