Supreme Court Panel Exposes Misconduct of Judge Yashwant Varma

A Supreme Court-appointed three-judge panel has dismissed the conspiracy theory proposed by Allahabad High Court judge Yashwant Varma regarding a cash recovery incident, citing his failure to file a police complaint.

The panel, led by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, concluded Justice Varma and his family had control over the storeroom where the cash was found, thus questioning his conduct and recommending his removal due to serious misconduct.

The report pointed to Varma's unexplained acceptance of a transfer post-incident, raising doubts about his actions and questioning the breach of public trust inherent in his high constitutional role.
