Controversial Transfer: Justice Yashwant Varma's Move to Allahabad Amid Cash Row

The government has announced the transfer of Delhi High Court judge Yashwant Varma to Allahabad High Court following an alleged cash discovery investigation. Despite an in-house inquiry initiated by Delhi High Court's Chief Justice, Justice Varma strongly denies accusations, claiming they're a conspiracy against him.

The government has officially confirmed the transfer of Delhi High Court judge Yashwant Varma to the Allahabad High Court. The announcement comes amid controversy over an alleged discovery of substantial cash at his official residence.

The Law Ministry's notification follows a recommendation from the Supreme Court Collegium, which insists that the transfer is unrelated to the ongoing in-house investigation prompted by the alleged cash find.

Despite the severe allegations, Justice Varma has denied any wrongdoing, dismissing the claims of money discovery as a baseless conspiracy intended to tarnish his reputation.
