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. Videos of the fire incident at his home became crucial evidence.

A fire at Justice Yashwant Varma's Delhi residence revealed partially burnt high-denomination currency notes, sparking a high-level judicial and governmental probe. A fireman's remark about Gandhi on the notes, captured on video, highlighted the incident's gravity. The discovery led to swift action, with the Delhi Police Commissioner briefing the Chief Justice and a report sent to the Union Home Ministry.
