Yashwant Varma Takes Oath As Justice In Allahabad High Court

Justice Yashwant Varma's repatriation to Allahabad from the Delhi high court had invited scrutiny from the AHCBA previously as well, with the bar association protesting the Supreme Court Collegium's decision to transfer the judge.

The Chief Justice of India had ordered an in-house inquiry concerning Justice Yashwant Varma, after a fire at his residence in Delhi led to the discovery of piles of unaccounted cash last month.

Justice Varma has taken his oath as an Allahabad high court judge in his chambers privately, rather than the usual public event, which involves various dignitaries and colleagues.
