Panel Probes Justice Varma Cash Allegations

News summary

Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna has set up a three-member panel to investigate allegations against Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma following the discovery of a large sum of cash at his residence during a fire incident. The panel includes Justices Sheel Nagu, GS Sandhawalia, and Anu Sivaraman. While the exact amount of cash remains undisclosed, the incident has led to significant controversy, prompting the Supreme Court collegium to recommend Justice Varma's transfer to the Allahabad High Court, alongside an immediate suspension of his judicial duties. There are conflicting reports about the cash discovery, with Delhi Fire Services Chief Atul Garg denying previous claims that firefighters found cash at the scene. The Supreme Court emphasized that the inquiry and transfer are separate matters, aiming to uphold judicial integrity. Former Supreme Court judge Indira Banerjee suggested that if the allegations are confirmed, Justice Varma should resign.
