Plea for police probe into Delhi HC judge residence fire to be heard on March 28

A petition seeking police investigation into allegations of burnt cash found at Justice Yashwant Varma's residence will be heard by the Supreme Court on March 28, 2025, as noted by the Supreme Court's causelist.
The petition alleges that huge sums of unaccounted money were found at Justice Varma's official residence, according to petitioner-advocate Mathews J. Nedumpara.
Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna declined to expedite the hearing for the petition, which questions the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court-appointed committee, as mentioned by Nedumpara.
Various bar associations have called for the withdrawal of Justice Varma's transfer to the Allahabad High Court, amidst public concerns over potential cover-up actions regarding the allegations.
