Justice Yashwant Varma of the Allahabad High Court has resigned nearly a year after a major controversy involving the alleged recovery of unaccounted cash at his Delhi residence. His resignation was submitted to the President as impeachment proceedings gained momentum, with over 140 MPs supporting a motion for his removal. The cash was reportedly discovered after a fire incident in 2025, triggering investigations and judicial scrutiny. Varma had denied the allegations, calling them a conspiracy. His resignation highlights growing concerns over judicial accountability and transparency, while the inquiry into the case is still ongoing. (PC: India Today)
