In a letter to President Droupadi Murmu on Friday, Varma said he was resigning “with immediate effect”, bringing down the curtains on what had until March 2025 seemed a promising judicial career. It took eyewitness testimonies of firemen and police officials before the judges inquiry committee headed by SC Justice Aravind Kumar pursuant to a removal motion, to persuade the controversial HC judge to drop his resistance. They had, on the night of March 14-15 last year, responding to a 112 fire emergency, stumbled upon sacks of cash at New Delhi’s Tughlaq Road bungalow of Justice Varma, then a Delhi HC judge. “While I do not propose to burden your august office with the reasons which have constrained me to submit this missive, it is with deep anguish that I hereby tender my resignation from the office of the judge of Hon’ble High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, with immediate effect,” Justice Varma wrote.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosDelhi Police Crack Down on ISI-Linked Spy Module, 10 Arrested; Second Network Busted After Pan-India Surveillance Plot’Chokepoints Now A Global Anxiety’: Jaishankar Invokes West Asia Crisis At Indian Ocean ConferenceMathura: Boat Carrying Devotees Capsizes In Yamuna; 10 Bodies Recovered, Rescue Ops OnQatar Assures Reliable Energy Supply To India Amid West Asia Crisis After Hardeep Puri’s Doha VisitPakistan-ISI Spy Network Busted: 11 Arrested For Recce Of Military Sites Across North IndiaCentre Notifies CAPF General Administration Act 2026; Families, Retired Officers Protest in DelhiJustice Yashwant Varma Resigns Amid Cash Row — Why He Stepped Down On Day Of Impeachment Defence’Win A War Without Firing?’ CDS Anil Chauhan Explains Shift From Battlefield To Perception WarfareExercise Brahmastra: Indian army’s first firing from the AH-64E Apache attack helicoptersMarco Rubio’s India Visit Next Month After Talks With Vikram Misri in Washington123Photostories8 modern and not-so-common baby names for kids born on a FridayFrom Vivek Dahiya getting emotional during Divyanka Tripathi’s pregnancy scan to pampering her midnight cravings, the couple share their journeyHow to differentiate between naturally and chemically ripened banana: FSSAI’s rulebook on ripening temperature for the fruit5 things that make Bandhavgarh National Park irresistible to nature loversGold or platinum with diamonds: Which one actually makes you look richer?Chef Sanjeev Kapoor shares secrets on how to use moong (whole, split with skin, and split skinless) for maximum benefitsShubman Gill’s new house in Juhu, Mumbai is a ₹20 crore luxury apartment with sea views, full-floor privacy and luxury amenitiesChild’s roti and sugar for school lunch goes viral: 13 school tiffin meals that all 90s kids can relate to10 stunning gates that reflect the beauty of Indian architectureThat constant throat clearing isn’t just a habit: What it could reveal about acid reflux and how to manage it123Hot PicksIran war ceasefirePAN Card application 2026Purple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingStephen Curry charityLaura Loomer reactionIndia Lebanon civilianRajouri grenade recoveryUS stock marketPAN Card application 2026Hinjewadi Metro lineUS inflationSchool Holidays in AprilLaken Snelling case $950 million bet before Trump’s announcement?

The exodus has disrupted routine services in homes, hotels, restaurants and construction sites.”Over 80% of Jaipur’s domestic help and labourers are from villages in Cooch Behar. This is the first time we are seeing such enthusiasm to return home to cast votes. In fact, after Covid, the enthusiasm is the highest,” said Mewa Bharti, a domestic help activist who runs the Rajasthan Mahila Kamraj Union.The impact is widespread. Women largely work as domestic help, while men are employed in hotels, marriage gardens, factories and construction.”We can’t think of running a kitchen in Jaipur without Cooch Behar manpower. At present, there is an acute shortage as almost entire families are leaving to vote,” said Tarun Kumar Bansal, president of the Hotels and Restaurant Association of Rajasthan. He added that over 70 of his 240 employees are from Cooch Behar and all have applied for leave.The ripple effect has extended to markets, with the Bengali Fish Market in Bais Godam and the Bengali Anaj Mandi on Shakar Marg likely to remain shut for nearly a month.Explaining the surge, migrant Usha Barman said: “We have been promised financial help by political parties depending on the number of family members voting. There are also fears that if we don’t vote, our names may get struck off in the next revision.”With trains full and waiting lists long, many are opting for general coaches or private buses — underscoring that, for these workers, voting takes priority over livelihood.About the AuthorArpit BasuWith more than one-and-a-half decade’s experience in print and digital media, Arpit Basu has reported on aviation, transport, crime, civic and human interests issues.

In a letter simultaneously addressed to Supreme Court Justice Aravind Kumar, who is head of the judges’ inquiry committee, the controversial HC judge faulted the committee’s procedure to test veracity of the charges related to the discovery of a huge amount unaccounted burnt cash from his official residence. Questioning the committee’s decision to proceed without any cogent evidence against him, Justice Varma said that such a procedure has left him with no option but to withdraw, as his further participation would legitimise a process that “calls upon me to answer the unanswerable – where did the money come from”. “I have, in parallel, addressed a communication to Her Excellency, the Hon’ble President of India,” he said. Videos recorded by first responders – firemen and police – of the fire incident at his residence in central Delhi on March 14-15 night last year, and later uploaded on the Supreme Court website, proved the undoing of Justice Varma. If their evidence before the committee was damning, it got sharper during their cross-examination by Justice Varma’s lawyers, as they graphically narrated the discovery of cash and conduct of the people present in the judge’s house on that night. Justice Varma was considered very close to Justice D Y Chandrachud, who had a two-year tenure as CJI from Nov 2022 till Nov 2024. An SC bench headed by him had, in March 2024, quashed a CBI FIR and an ECIR by the Enforcement Directorate against Justice Varma, who as a lawyer and prior to appointment as an HC judge, had figured in it as a non-executive director of Simbhaoli Sugar Ltd in an alleged bank loan fraud case. One of his main grouses was that the committee had shifted the onus of proving innocence on him based on evidence gathered by the inquiry committee constituted by then CJI Sanjiv Khanna. The inquiry report could not have served as evidence or relevant for any future proceedings, he said. His decision to challenge the inquiry proceedings, its report and the recommendation of then CJI Khanna for the initiation of removal motion was dismissed by an SC bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and A G Masih on Aug 7 last year. Justice Varma said the storeroom, from where the burnt cash was allegedly found and where video was recorded, was never seized by police. Moreover, since the room was accessible to all, it cannot be the judge’s responsibility to keep track of who keeps what in the sprawling premises of an official bungalow that includes the residential quarters for house helps. Justice Varma said he leaves it to posterity to judge “whether such an obligation can ever be discharged or be justifiably placed upon occupants of such premises”. He said the allegations and innuendos levelled against him lacked any basis or evidence. Asserting that there had not been any cogent evidence to back the charges against him, Justice Varma said in a process unknown to the law of criminal trial. “The burden of proof has been effectively reversed without any foundational case being made out.” “I am profoundly disappointed that, despite the solemn nature of these proceedings, which carry the potential consequence of removing a sitting high court judge from constitutional office, the Commission (Committee) did not intervene despite the shocking manner in which proceedings unfolded,” Justice Varma said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosDelhi Police Crack Down on ISI-Linked Spy Module, 10 Arrested; Second Network Busted After Pan-India Surveillance Plot’Chokepoints Now A Global Anxiety’: Jaishankar Invokes West Asia Crisis At Indian Ocean ConferenceMathura: Boat Carrying Devotees Capsizes In Yamuna; 10 Bodies Recovered, Rescue Ops OnQatar Assures Reliable Energy Supply To India Amid West Asia Crisis After Hardeep Puri’s Doha VisitPakistan-ISI Spy Network Busted: 11 Arrested For Recce Of Military Sites Across North IndiaCentre Notifies CAPF General Administration Act 2026; Families, Retired Officers Protest in DelhiJustice Yashwant Varma Resigns Amid Cash Row — Why He Stepped Down On Day Of Impeachment Defence’Win A War Without Firing?’ CDS Anil Chauhan Explains Shift From Battlefield To Perception WarfareExercise Brahmastra: Indian army’s first firing from the AH-64E Apache attack helicoptersMarco Rubio’s India Visit Next Month After Talks With Vikram Misri in Washington123Photostories8 modern and not-so-common baby names for kids born on a FridayFrom Vivek Dahiya getting emotional during Divyanka Tripathi’s pregnancy scan to pampering her midnight cravings, the couple share their journeyHow to differentiate between naturally and chemically ripened banana: FSSAI’s rulebook on ripening temperature for the fruit4 high-profile business family feuds that made headlines globally5 things that make Bandhavgarh National Park irresistible to nature loversFrom Yashasvi Jaiswal-Maddie Hamilton to Hardik Pandya-Mahieka Sharma: 5 Indian cricketers and their rumoured girlfriendsGold or platinum with diamonds: Which one actually makes you look richer?Chef Sanjeev Kapoor shares secrets on how to use moong (whole, split with skin, and split skinless) for maximum benefitsShubman Gill’s new house in Juhu, Mumbai is a ₹20 crore luxury apartment with sea views, full-floor privacy and luxury amenitiesWant love that lasts? 5 phrases that can save your relationship123Hot PicksIran war ceasefirePAN Card application 2026Purple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingStephen Curry charityLaura Loomer reactionIndia Lebanon civilianRajouri grenade recoveryUS stock marketPAN Card application 2026Hinjewadi Metro lineUS inflationSchool Holidays in AprilLaken Snelling case Drama in PSL over Usman Tariq’s action: Batter walks away twice vs Pakistan spinner – Watch Offset discharged from hospital; police detain two in shooting investigations Pisces Horoscope Today, April 11, 2026: Finances remain stable ‘Entire trip was spectacular’: Trump hails Artemis II crew after historic Moon mission, eyes Mars next NEW DELHI: The Centre and Delhi Police told Delhi high court on Friday that social media platform X (formerly Twitter) risks losing its safe harbour protection in India as an intermediary if it fails to act despite court orders and police notices in connection with allegedly objectionable posts by journalist Rana Ayyub concerning Hindu deities and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. In a note submitted to court, the Centre said despite having “actual knowledge”, X did not remove the “unlawful content from its platform” and such inaction amounts to non-compliance with due diligence requirements under the law.About the AuthorAbhinav GargAs legal editor for Delhi, Abhinav Garg handles coverage of courts and connected legal challenges shaping the capital.
