Justice Yashwant Varma has resigned from the Allahabad High Court as an impeachment process was initiated against him following the discovery of a large amount of cash at his official residence in Lutyens Delhi on March 14, 2025. In his resignation letter to President Droupadi Murmu, Varma expressed deep anguish but did not elaborate on the reasons for his resignation. The cash was reportedly found in a storeroom near the servants' quarters while Varma and his wife were in Bhopal. Following the incident, the Supreme Court formed a three-judge committee to conduct an inquiry, which led to Varma being relieved of his judicial duties at the Delhi High Court and transferred back to his parent court in Allahabad. The court had also publicly shared photos and videos of the cash found, which Varma denied belonging to him or his family, stating that the storeroom was accessible to all. His resignation effectively concludes the impeachment process against him.
