The Union government on Friday (28.03.2025) notified the transfer of Justice Yashwant Varma from the Delhi High Court to the Allahabad High Court.
According to the notification, ‘In exercise of the power conferred by clause (1) of Article 222 of the Constitution of India, the President, after consultation with the Chief Justice of India, is pleased to transfer Shri Justice Yashwant Varma, Judge, Delhi High Court, to be a Judge of Allahabad High Court and to direct him to assume charge of his office in the Allahabad High Court.’
Following the transfer, the Supreme Court of India directed the Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court not to assign any judicial work to Justice Varma.
The Collegium recommended to transfer Justice Yashwant Varma after two meetings on March 20 and 24, following the alleged discovery of cash at his residence. A fire at his residence on March 14 reportedly led firefighters to recover unaccounted cash.
