No work will be assigned to Justice Varma for time being: SC In the first official confirmation that cash was found at the residence of Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma when a fire broke out there on March 14, the Supreme Court Saturday released an internal inquiry report by the High Court. In the redacted report, Delhi High Court Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya, in a letter  dated March 21, asked Justice Varma to “account for the presence of money/cash” in the room located in his official bungalow. The Supreme Court also uploaded videos and photographs which Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora purportedly shared with the Chief Justice Upadhyaya. The images and video show a fireman pulling out half-burnt wads of cash in plastic bags. “Mahatma Gandhi mein aag lag gayi (Mahatma Gandhi is on fire),” a person is heard saying in the video, referring to the Gandhi image on the notes that had caught fire. Before making the HC report public, the CJI is learnt to have communicated the decision to a senior member of the Supreme Court Collegium. Justice Varma, in his official response to Chief Justice Upadhyaya, has denied the allegations. “I would beseech you to bear in consideration that no currency was recovered from the premises that we actually occupy and use as a family,” he said. The report was released hours after Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna constituted a three-member committee to probe the allegations against the HC judge. A release from the Supreme Court said the Delhi High Court Chief Justice “for the time being has been asked not to assign any judicial work” to Justice Varma. “The Chief Justice of India has constituted a three member Committee consisting of Mr. Justice Sheel Nagu, Chief Justice of the High Court of Punjab & Haryana, Mr. Justice G.S. Sandhawalia, Chief Justice of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh, and Ms. Anu Sivaraman, Judge of the High Court of Karnataka, for conducting an inquiry into the allegations against Mr. Justice Yashwant Varma, a sitting Judge of the High Court of Delhi,” the release stated. It said the report submitted by the Chief Justice of the High Court as well as the response of Justice Varma “and other documents” would be uploaded on the court website — and was done subsequently.
