In Justice Yashwant Varma’s case, Delhi police commissioner shared photographs and video of cash, allegedly found in aftermath of a fire, with the Delhi high court chief justice.
Despite SC making several documents, photos and a video public, a lot of what happened at Delhi HC judge Yashwant Varma’s residence on 14 March night is still shrouded in mystery.
The Vice-President, who has on several occasions batted for reviving proposal to set up a National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC), says steps taken by CJI 'unprecedented'.
TMC MP Mahua Moitra says ‘just like EC has been emasculated, efforts are afoot to bring back something like NJAC with complete govt control and do away with Collegium system’.
The bar association has also questioned the procedure to appoint Supreme Court and high court judges, calling it non-transparent, and called for a review of the collegium system.
Delhi HC Chief Justice Upadhyaya's report to the CJI said 'four to five semi-burnt sacks of Indian currency notes' were found from the judge's Lutyens' Delhi residence.
In 6-page clarification to Justice Upadhyaya, who conducted a prelim probe into the allegations, Justice Varma said his staff present on night of the fire saw 'no currency at the site'.
Firefighters & police had recorded a video of 4-5 bags of burnt cash allegedly found in Justice Varma’s storeroom. Hours later, the debris was removed, the prelim report says.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
