The Supreme Court Collegium has taken a key decision regarding Justice Yashwant Verma. This decision was taken by the Supreme Court Collegium in a meeting held on 20 and 24 March.
In this meeting, the Collegium has recommended repatriation of Justice Yashwant Verma back from Delhi High Court to Allahabad High Court.
Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Verma is accused of a large amount of cash being found in his official residence in New Delhi during a fire fighting operation at his house.
On March 14, a store room in his residence caught fire, where a large amount of cash was allegedly found from his house.
After this, on March 22, following the allegations against Justice Yashwant Verma, the Supreme Court made a report public.
This report also included some photos and videos provided by Delhi Police in which burnt notes were visible.
The Supreme Court has also formed a three-member committee - consisting of the chief justices of the Punjab and Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Karnataka High Courts - to investigate the matter.
On the other hand Justice Varma said last week that neither he nor any member of his family kept money in the outhouse - a structure he said is "disconnected from the main residence", is kept unlocked, and can be accessed by anybody else. He also declared himself "truly shocked" and claimed a "conspiracy" against him.
