The Allahabad High Court Bar Association (HCBA) has expressed strong opposition to the proposed transfer of Justice Yashwant Varma to their bench. In a recent resolution, the HCBA criticized the move, stating, "We are not a trash bin." They highlighted concerns over Justice Varma's alleged "arbitrary, biased, and high-handed" judicial conduct, particularly citing instances where orders detrimental to advocates were issued without proper hearings. The association has urged the Chief Justice to intervene, seeking the suspension of Justice Varma's judicial duties pending a transparent inquiry. They warned of potential protests, including boycotts, if corrective measures are not implemented. This development underscores escalating tensions between the judiciary and legal practitioners, emphasizing the need for judicial accountability and adherence to natural justice principles.
