The report of the three-member Inquiry Committee that investigated allegations against Justice Yashwant Varma, former Judge of the Allahabad and Delhi High Courts, is set to be tabled in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, bringing the controversial 'cash-at-home' case formally before Parliament.
The report, prepared under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, along with the oral and documentary evidence recorded during the proceedings, is listed for presentation in the Lok Sabha. The parliamentary agenda specifically provides for the laying of Volumes I and II of the report in both Hindi and English, as well as the evidence gathered by the committee.
The committee was constituted by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on August 12, 2025, to examine allegations concerning Justice Varma. The panel was headed by Supreme Court Justice Aravind Kumar and included the then Bombay High Court Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar(since elevated to the SC) and Senior Advocate BV Acharya. It submitted its report to Speaker Birla on May 18, 2026.
The inquiry stems from the controversy following a fire at Justice Varma's official residence in New Delhi in March 2025, after which a large quantity of alleged unaccounted cash was found. Justice Varma, who denied wrongdoing, submitted his resignation as a Judge on April 10.
