Yashwant Varma | Yashwant Verma Supreme Court | Delhi High Court Judge | Biggest Stories Of March 21

Calling himself a "trenchant critic" of the Collegium system, Senior Advocate Harish Salve has said it is "not equipped" to deal with cases like the alleged recovery of huge piles of cash from Delhi High Court judge Yashwant Varma. In light of new information, Mr Salve insisted, the judge's transfer to the Allahabad High Court must be put on hold. Speaking exclusively to NDTV on Friday, Mr Salve pointed out that the Delhi fire chief has said no recovery was made by firefighters from the judge's bungalow in the national capital, giving rise to an "odd and murky" situation.
