"Transfer Only First Step, Top Court Probing": Sources On Cash At Judge Home | Read
The transfer of Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma - in whose home a pile of unaccounted cash was found last week - is not the "final step", sources told NDTV Friday afternoon, confirming the Supreme Court had ordered an in-house inquiry into the matter.
Source also said the Supreme Court Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna had sought a report from the Delhi High Court Chief Justice, DK Upadhyaya, and also briefed fellow judges in the top court.
Based on the outcome of the investigation, Justice Varma may either be asked to resign or be removed from office by Parliament, under Article 124(4) of the Constitution.
