Delhi High Court Rejects Plea for FIR and Probe into Cash Found at Ex-Judge Varma's Residence
The Delhi High Court dismissed a plea seeking an FIR and investigation by the CBI or SIT into the discovery of a large cash stash following a fire at former judge Yashwant Varma's residence. Justice Amit Bansal called the petition a "wild witch hunt" and questioned the petitioner's standing, noting alternative legal remedies. Varma, who resigned amid impeachment proceedings after a Lok Sabha panel found charges against him proven, denied ownership of the cash. The petitioner withdrew the plea after the court indicated dismissal.
