Justice Yashwant Varma – the Delhi judge at whose home a pile of burnt cash was discovered on Holi, after a fire was put out – has been removed from active duty with “immediate effect till further orders”, High Court Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya said Monday morning.<\/p>\n

This follows the Supreme Court forming a three-member committee to investigate the allegations against Justice Varma, who emphasised last week that neither he nor any member of his family kept money in the outhouse – a structure he said is “disconnected from the main residence”, is kept unlocked, and can be accessed by others – in which the cash was found.<\/p>\n

He also declared himself “truly shocked” and claimed a “conspiracy” against him.<\/p>\n
