Controversy Strikes: Justice Yashwant Varma Transferred Amid Cash Probe

Justice Yashwant Varma, embroiled in controversy over alleged cash discovery from his residence, has been transferred from Delhi High Court to Allahabad High Court. This administrative decision, separate from the ongoing investigation into the incident, was announced by the Supreme Court Collegium and the Law Ministry.

Justice Yashwant Varma, amid allegations of cash discovery at his official residence, has been transferred to the Allahabad High Court, as stated in a government notification released on Friday.

The Law Ministry has confirmed his transfer, following a prior recommendation by the Supreme Court Collegium.

This decision by the collegium is reportedly independent and unrelated to the in-house investigation prompted by the alleged cash find after a fire incident at Justice Varma's home during Holi.
