THE biggest news that came out of the courts was not of a verdict. A large stash of cash was discovered at the residence of Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma during a fire incident on March 14, making national headlines. According to officials, close to ₹15 crore was found during the firefighting operation.
