Supreme Court Publishes Report on Burnt Cash Found at Delhi Judge’s Residence

Justice Yashwant Varma denies allegations of unaccounted cash, calling it a conspiracy, as an in-house inquiry is launched by the judiciary.

The Supreme Court released a report with images and a video showing semi-burnt cash allegedly found at Justice Yashwant Varma's official residence during a fire on March 14, 2025.
Justice Varma has strongly denied any connection to the cash, describing the evidence as fabricated and part of a conspiracy to damage his reputation.
The storeroom where the cash was allegedly discovered is described by Justice Varma as a shared, unlocked space disconnected from his main residence.
The Supreme Court has directed the Delhi High Court Chief Justice not to assign judicial work to Justice Varma while an in-house inquiry is conducted.
Justice Varma emphasized that neither he nor his family members or staff saw any cash at the site and questioned the absence of formal seizure records or presentation of the alleged cash.
