[16/01, 08:21] Meta AI: Justice Yashwant Varma has informed a parliamentary panel that he was not present in Delhi when a fire broke out at his official residence in March 2025, and no cash was recovered from the premises. He stated that the fire occurred in an outhouse separate from his living quarters, near CRPF barracks, making it accessible to many. Varma also pointed out that there is no official record or CCTV footage to support the allegations of cash recovery. ¹ ² ³

The controversy began after allegations surfaced that a substantial amount of cash was discovered at his residence following the fire. An in-house inquiry panel found credence in the allegations, leading to impeachment proceedings. Varma has challenged the constitutionality of the in-house inquiry and the parliamentary committee before the Supreme Court.
