Delhi High Court Rejects Plea for FIR and Probe into Cash Found at Ex-Judge's Residence
The Delhi High Court dismissed a plea seeking an FIR and investigation by SIT or CBI into cash found after 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 exist. The petitioner withdrew the plea after the court indicated dismissal. Varma resigned amid impeachment proceedings following the controversy over the cash discovery in March 2025.
