Following the claimed finding of ₹15 crore in undeclared cash at his house on March 14, 2025, Justice Yashwant Varma of the Delhi High Court faces possible impeachment. Articles 124(4) and 218 of the Indian Constitution specify impeachment under Articles 2-thirds majority in both Houses, a motion, and a judicial inquiry. While 62 Opposition MPs have sent an impeachment notice, the Supreme Court Collegium has started an internal inquiry. Precedent implies Varma would step down should he be found guilty within political wrangle and public pressure. Should he object, he might be the first judge in India to be effectively impeached.

Cash Plot Against Judge Yashwant Varma : A Conspiracy Unraveled
Allegations that seem most likely to be part of a conspiracy call attention to Justice Yashwant Varma’s career, which was defined by intelligence, integrity, and major contributions to the court. His denial, the timing of the debate, and his participation in the collegium testify to outside control used to affect court nominations. Supporting a fair process and acknowledging his outstanding service as the investigation goes on will help to prevent damage to reputation from unsubstantiated allegations. The legitimacy of the court rests on treating such issues with great attention to guarantee justice for all the engaged parties.
No man should be condemned unheard By Justice Katju
The media has called the amount seized as ‘unaccounted’ cash. But if they have not even taken Justice Verma’s version, how can they say it is unaccounted ? Some mediaperson is saying it is Rs 15 crore, another is saying Rs 50 crores, etc. But on what basis have they reached this figure ? No on knows. Evidently ‘presstitutes’ have a right to say anything they like.
