Delhi High Court Justice Yashwant Varma<\/a>, from whose residence burnt cash was allegedly found, met a team of lawyers on Wednesday, ahead of his appearance before an in-house inquiry<\/a> committee. According to sources, the high court judge sought legal opinion from senior advocates Siddharth Aggarwal<\/a>, Maneka Guruswamy, Arundhati Katju and advocate Tara Narula who visited his Lutyens’ Delhi residence. <\/p>\n

The three-member in-house committee appointed by the Supreme Court<\/a> is expected to meet Justice Varma this week. <\/p>\n

The committee visited Justice Varma’s 30, Tughlak Crescent residence here on Tuesday as it commenced its inquiry into the allegations against him. <\/p>\n

Chief Justice Sheel Nagu of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chief Justice G S Sandhawalia of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka High Court Justice Anu Sivaraman were inside Justice Varma’s residence for around 30-35 minutes. <\/p>\n

The findings of the crucial inquiry will decide the fate of Justice Varma who is facing allegations that “four to five semi-burnt sacks of Indian currency notes” were found at his home following a fire on March 14. <\/p>\n

The Supreme Court Collegium had recommended the repatriation of Justice Varma, who has been de-rostered by the Delhi High Court following a directive from Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna, to his parent Allahabad High Court. On March 22, the CJI constituted the three-member committee to conduct an in-house inquiry into allegations against Justice Varma and decided to upload online the report of Delhi High Court Chief Justice D K Upadhyay in the incident. It included photos and videos of the alleged discovery. <\/p>\n

Justice Varma strongly rejected the allegations and said no cash was ever placed in the storeroom of his house either by him or any of his family members.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
