Justice Yashwant Varma takes oath in Allahabad HC ‘Cash at judge’s home’

Close to the ‘cash at home’ episode in New Delhi, Justice Yashwant Varma took oath as a judge of the Allahabad High Court in a private chamber on Saturday. He will not be assigned any judicial work, for now.

His transfer from Delhi High Court to Allahabad, amid an in-house probe,



was cleared by the Central government on March 28.

Justice Varma is embroiled in a controversy surrounding the alleged discovery of a huge pile of burnt cash in the storeroom attached to his bungalow in the national capital after the fire brigade had gone there to douse a blaze on March 14.
