Shocking Discovery of Cash at Delhi High Court Judge’s Residence Linked to a Women Judge from Another State
(Judicial Quest News Network)
In a stunning twist to the ongoing investigation into the shocking cash discovery at the residence of Delhi High Court Judge Yashwant Verma, sources have now revealed that the substantial sum of unaccounted money found in the fire incident does not solely belong to him. It has been confirmed that the cash stash also includes contributions from a female judge from another state.
The fire, which was initially seen as a routine incident at Justice Verma’s home, took a dramatic turn when firefighters, in the process of controlling the blaze, stumbled upon a large pile of unaccounted currency. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that the money belonged to multiple individuals within the judiciary, with Justice Verma’s name emerging prominently as one of the principal figures connected to the stash. However, sources close to the investigation have now disclosed that a portion of the cash also belongs to a women judge from another high court.
The revelation has sent shockwaves through the Indian judiciary, as questions are now being raised about the extent of judicial corruption and the involvement of other judges. It is still unclear whether the women judge’s share was in any way linked to her judicial work or if there were other undisclosed motives behind the hidden wealth. Sources indicate that further inquiries are being conducted to uncover the full extent of the involvement of other judges, as well as to determine the origins of the cash.
The Supreme Court, which launched a rare in-house investigation into the matter, has ordered Delhi High Court Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyay to provide a detailed report on the situation. It is believed that the investigation will now extend to multiple high courts across India, as the cash discovery points to a broader network of individuals, all of whom will come under the purview of the inquiry.
This new development has cast a shadow over the integrity of the judiciary, a system that is typically regarded as one of the cornerstones of Indian democracy. Legal experts have stated that if further links to other judges are found, it could lead to a full-scale national inquiry into judicial accountability and transparency.
Justice Verma, who was initially set to be repatriated to his parent Allahabad High Court, is now facing mounting pressure. Sources suggest that his transfer process is being fast-tracked, but the in-house investigation is likely to continue and could extend to judicial reforms within the entire legal system.
In the wake of this shocking discovery, the Supreme Court has vowed to take swift and decisive action. The integrity of the judiciary is now under intense scrutiny, with the nation awaiting answers regarding the full scale of the scandal and the involvement of its highest-ranking judicial officers.
Stay tuned as this developing story unfolds, with more updates expected in the coming days.
