Justice Yashwant Varma has refused to resign from the Delhi High Court despite a Supreme Court-appointed panel confirming a large cash recovery from his residence. The process to impeach him is set to start soon.

The enquiry committee confirmed the recovery of cash from the official residence of Justice Yashwant Varma, who was serving as a judge of the Delhi High Court, following a fire incident on March 14. Based on the panel’s report submitted to Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, Justice Varma was given the option to either resign or face impeachment proceedings.

If the conflict on the border was not happening, this would have been a way bigger story.
