Justice Varma Cash Row: SC Rejects RTI Plea For In House Panel Report, CJI's Letter To President, PM

The Supreme Court administration has denied an RTI request seeking access to a report by a court-appointed committee that confirmed cash discovery allegations against Allahabad High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma. The RTI plea also sought related communications by then Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna to President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Citing confidentiality and possible violation of parliamentary privilege, the Court rejected the request. The three-member panel—comprising Chief Justices Sheel Nagu, G S Sandhawalia, and Justice Anu Sivaraman—finalized the report on May 3. Following due process, the report and Justice Varma’s response were shared with constitutional authorities. Sources indicated that CJI Khanna urged the judge to resign, but after no compliance, it is now up to the executive and Parliament to decide further action. As per procedure, if a judge does not resign, the CJI may recommend impeachment to the President and Prime Minister.
