Supreme Court Panel Intensifies Inquiry into Justice Varma Cash Discovery Case

The in-house committee inspected Justice Varma's residence as protests and calls for independent investigations continue to grow.

A Supreme Court-appointed panel visited Justice Yashwant Varma's Delhi residence on March 25 to investigate the alleged discovery of cash following a fire earlier this month.
Justice Varma denies any connection to the cash, claiming it is part of a conspiracy to tarnish his reputation.
The Allahabad High Court Bar Association has launched an indefinite strike opposing Justice Varma's transfer to their court, citing concerns over judicial transparency.
Protests in Jabalpur have called for an FIR and an independent investigation by agencies like the CBI or ED, questioning the judiciary's internal inquiry process.
The Supreme Court has declined urgent requests for an FIR, emphasizing adherence to procedural norms as debates over transparency and accountability continue.
