Justice Yashwant Varma, a judge of the Allahabad High Court, has resigned amid an ongoing inquiry into corruption allegations following the recovery of a large amount of cash from his residence in Lutyens Delhi in March 2025. His resignation coincided with the day he was scheduled to present his defense arguments. Varma submitted his resignation to the President of India without providing a reason. This development effectively concludes the impeachment process initiated by the Indian Parliament in July 2022, which involved a three-member panel tasked with investigating the charges against him. The panel included Supreme Court Justice Aravind Kumar and other notable legal figures. Varma's resignation allows him to retain his pension and other retirement benefits, which he would have lost had he been impeached. The allegations against him stem from the discovery of cash in a storeroom at his official residence, which he has denied owning.
