A fire at the official residence of Delhi High Court Justice Yashwant Varma on March 14 led to the discovery of a substantial amount of cash. At the time, Justice Varma was not present, and the fire brigade and police, responding to the incident, found the cash in one of the rooms. This finding prompted Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna to convene an emergency meeting of the Supreme Court Collegium, which unanimously recommended Justice Varma's transfer back to his parent court, the Allahabad High Court. The Collegium is also considering initiating an in-house inquiry, which could lead to further actions, including possible impeachment proceedings.
