PRESS RELEASE: Twenty questions to Higher Judiciary in India: Invoke Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952 Re.: Alleged cash found at Js. Varma's house

 

All the judges of the Supreme Court of India and the Delhi High Court are on trial before the citizens of India and so far, they are in contempt of the people. It is obvious and apparent from the media reports that since 14 March 2025 when the cash was allegedly discovered in Justice Yashwant Varma’s house a massive cover up operation was launched at the highest level of the judiciary with Chief Justice of India (CJI) in the know of everything and possibly a party to the cover up. But for the fire incident the alleged cash would not have come to light. There have been similar instances in the past when judicial corruption has come to light by happenstance. It is time that judiciary comes clean and stop hiding behind its power of contempt.

 

The truth must come out. Following questions need immediate answers:

 

1.    Who found the alleged cash at the Justice Yashwant Varma’s house?

2.    The amount of cash that was found?

3.    Who was the first person to be informed about the finding of the cash? Chain of command since the information was received?

4.    Date and time when the Chief Justice of India was informed?

5.    Date and time when the Chief Justice of Delhi High Court was informed?

6.    Minute to minute steps taken by CJI after he was informed?

7.    Minute to minute steps taken by CJ of DHC after he was informed?

8.    Why was Yashwant Varma, J. allowed to hold court for three days after the 14 March 2025 incident?

9.    When were the other judges of the SC and DHC informed?

10. Why was the incident not made public immediately?

11. Was the evidence tampered with?

12. Is there not a single judge in SC or DHC who has the courage to speak the truth?

13. What happened in the various meetings held by SC judges and DHC judges? Minutes of all the meetings as well as enquiry reports conducted so far should be made public immediately.

14. Why is Justice Yashwant Varma not coming out with his side of the story?

15. Who are the lawyers involved in the whole scam?

16. Why is CJI indulging in Double-speak?

17. Have all CCTV’s footage in and around Justice Varma’s house been preserved?

18. Has the security staff on duty at the Justice Varma’s house been questioned?

19.  Have all the call records from Justice Varma’s house been preserved since the fire incident was reported?

20. Have all electronic devices at Justice Varma’s house been sealed and preserved?

 

WE DEMAND:

 

1.    That an inquiry commission should be set up by the Government of India under the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952 to inquire into this definite matter of public importance?

2.    All the judges of the Supreme Court, Delhi High Court; all the personnel from Delhi Fire Service and the police; plus, anyone else with any information should be cross-examined by the Commission.

3.    The proceedings should be made public and live streamed.
