The Supreme Court declined an urgent hearing on a plea seeking an FIR and Delhi Police probe into the alleged cash recovery at Delhi High Court judge Yashwant Varma’s residence. A fire brigade reportedly discovered a pile of burnt cash at his bungalow on March 14. Petitioners alleged a cover-up, questioning the delay in action. A three-member committee, formed by the SC Collegium, is investigating. Justice Varma denies any involvement. The Delhi HC Chief Justice has withdrawn his judicial work, and the SC Collegium recommended his repatriation to the Allahabad HC. The case raises concerns about judicial corruption.
