I spoke to several lawyers of Delhi today about Justice Yashwant Varma.
They all said two things :
(1) He had an outstanding reputation as a judge, patient, impartial, and learned in law,
and there had never been any conplaint about his integrity during his 4 year tenure as a Judge in Delhi High Court.
(2) The incident was clearly a set up. If someone wanted to give him a huge amount of bribe, would he have done it in such a crude manner of giving it in sacks of cash which could easily be caught?
The money seems to have been planted, in collusion with someone on Justice Varma’s staff.
Various theories are circulating about the motive for the set up
