Justice Yashwant Varma Denies Cash Recovery Amid Impeachment Proceedings

Justice Yashwant Varma, facing impeachment over allegations of unaccounted cash found during a fire at his Delhi residence in March 2025, told a parliamentary inquiry panel he was not present at the time and no cash was recovered. He challenged the investigation's basis, citing lack of evidence and procedural lapses by police and fire officials who failed to secure the site. An in-house committee led by the then Chief Justice found him guilty of misconduct, leading to ongoing impeachment proceedings.
