In Cash-At-Home Row, Delhi High Court Withdraws Judge Yashwant Varma From Active Duty

This follows the Supreme Court forming a three-member committee to investigate the allegations against Justice Yashwant Varma, who has said the money does not belong either to him or members of his family. New Delhi: Justice Yashwant Varma - the Delhi judge at whose home a pile of burnt cash was discovered on Holi, after a fire was put out - has been removed from active duty with "immediate effect till further orders", High Court Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya said Monday morning. This follows the Supreme Court forming a three-member committee to investigate the allegations against Justice Varma, who emphasised last week that neither he nor any member of his family kept money in the outhouse - a structure he said is "disconnected from the main residence", is kept unlocked, and can be accessed by others - in which the cash was found. He also declared himself "truly shocked" and claimed a "conspiracy" against him.
