Report: 4 to 5 stacks of burnt currency notes found at Justice Varma's residence

CJI constitutes three-member committee for in-house probe

- 

In an unprecedented move, the Supreme Court late on Saturday uploaded on its website the entire in-house inquiry report, including photos and videos, into alleged discovery of a huge stash of cash at the residence of Delhi High Court judge Yashwant Varma.

According to the report, Justice Varma has unequivocally stated that no cash was ever placed in a storeroom of the house "either by me or any of my family members and strongly denounce the suggestion that the alleged cash belonged to us".

"The very idea or suggestion that this cash was kept or stored by us is totally preposterous," he said.

The inquiry report submitted by Delhi High Court Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya also contained material with regard to official communication which say four to five semi-burnt stacks of Indian currency were found.

The 25-page inquiry report also contained the videos and photographs of the fire fighting operation at Justice Varma's residence on Holi night during which the cash was discovered.
