No Plausible Explanation Has Been Offered: SC In-House Inquiry Report On Justice Yashwant Varma

The Supreme Court’s in-house committee, constituted by the then Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna on March 22, 2025, to inquire into allegations against Justice Yashwant Varma, then a judge of the Delhi High Court, has found that currency of high denomination was indeed recovered in a burnt condition from his official residence following a fire incident on March 14, 2025. The inquiry report that has not been officially published till date has come out in the public domain today. The Committee report records, “…the fire personnel and the Delhi Police officials had reached the spot on receiving a request for help from the residents of the house and the Private Secretary of the sitting Judge, who himself was not in station at the relevant point of time.” The Committee further states, “Apparently, in the process of dousing the fire, the said fire personnel and Delhi police officials took photographs and videos of the debris in the store room in question in which the fire had broken out and on account of the fact that the currency of high denomination had got affected and burnt, the same were shared with their higher officials.” The Commissioner of Police who appeared before the Committee as Witness informed the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court on March 15, 2025, that a report had been sent to the Union Home Minister, wherein there was reference that there were four or five half burnt sacks of Indian currency at the spot. In his oral explanation earlier on March 17, 2025, before the Chief Justice of Delhi High Court, Justice Varma had called the claims a conspiracy, after being shown the photographs and videos shared by the Commissioner of Police via WhatsApp. The Committee, however, reviewed multiple statements from first responders, including fire and police officials, and found them consistent. While the report does not list each witness statement verbatim, it affirms reliance on such material and contemporaneous documentation, including images and communications exchanged at the time.
