Judicial Shake-up: Justice Yashwant Varma's Controversial Transfer

Justice Yashwant Varma, a Delhi High Court judge, has been transferred to the Allahabad High Court amidst a controversy involving the alleged discovery of cash at his residence. The Supreme Court's in-house investigation continues as protests by legal associations emerge against his transfer.

In a move stirring controversy, the government notified the transfer of Justice Yashwant Varma from the Delhi High Court to his parent Allahabad High Court following alleged discovery of substantial cash at his residence.

The Supreme Court's in-house inquiry is ongoing, separate from the decision to transfer Varma, while the legal community protests what it calls a "dark day for India's judiciary."

This judicial reshuffle includes transfers of other judges such as Chandra Dhari Singh and Arindam Sinha to the Allahabad High Court as legal tensions rise.
