Cash discovery row: SC-appointed panel submits report to CJI over allegations against Justice Varma

PTI, NEW DELHI, MAY 5, 2025 : The Supreme Court-appointed three-judge panel has submitted its inquiry report to Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna on the cash discovery allegations against Allahabad High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma.

The three-member panel comprising Justice Sheel Nagu, Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Justice G S Sandhawalia, Chief Justice of the Himachal Pradesh High Court, and Justice Anu Sivaraman of the Karnataka High Court finalised its report on May 3.

The report, which was submitted to the CJI on May 4 for further actions, if any, reportedly contains the findings of the panel into the alleged cash discovery row following a fire at Justice Varma's Lutyens Delhi residence at around 11:35 pm on March 14, prompting the fire officials to rush to the spot and douse it.

The controversy was raised following a news report in the cash discovery row and led to several steps, including a preliminary inquiry by Delhi High Court Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and taking away judicial work from Justice Varma in the Delhi High Court and later his transfer to the Allahabad High Court sans judicial work.
