Supreme Court Confirms Transfer Of Judge In Cash-At-Home Row, To Allahabad High Court

Word Count: 321 | Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes




New Delhi:

Justice Yashwant Varma, the sitting judge of the Delhi High Court from whose house a stash of burnt cash was recovered on Holi, should be transferred to the Allahabad High Court, the Supreme Court Collegium has recommended. The ball is now in the court of the Centre, which can issue a formal order. 

The Supreme Court, during its meetings held on March 20 and 24, recommended the transfer to Justice Varma’s parent court. The move came amid stiff opposition from the Allahabad High Court Bar Association and criticism that any decision on his transfer should be made after an investigation.

The cash recovery — made late on the evening of Holi, March 14 — was made public on Saturday after the top court decided to transfer the judge. 

On March 20, the Supreme Court Collegium had proposed sending Justice Varma back to Allahabad High Court and its recommendation to the Center was sent on March 24.

The top court has ordered a probe into the matter, forming a three-member team comprising the Chief Justices of the Punjab and Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Karnataka High Courts. It has also clarified that the transfer is independent of the cash recovery. The top court’s statement regarding the transfer does not mention any reason for it.

On Saturday, the top court — in an unprecedented move in the interest of transparency — uploaded the report on the matter submitted by Delhi High Court Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya along with photos and videos on its website. 

The burnt cash was discovered from a store-room near the servants’ quarters of the judge’s bungalow by the fire service team that had turned up to douse a fire. 

Justice Varma — who was in Bhopal at the time along with his wife — has denied that anyone from his family was involved. The money, he said, was found in a room that was “accessed by all and sundry”.
