Justice Yashwant Varma resigned from the Allahabad High Court, alleging procedural unfairness by a judges' inquiry committee. He questioned the committee's handling of charges related to unaccounted burnt cash found at his residence, stating he was forced to withdraw as his participation would legitimize an unjust process.

A fire at Justice Yashwant Varma's Delhi residence revealed partially burnt high-denomination currency notes, sparking a high-level judicial and governmental probe.
