Justice Yashwant Varma of the Allahabad High Court has officially tendered his resignation to the President of India. This decision comes as he faces an ongoing in-house inquiry regarding allegations stemming from a major recovery of unaccounted cash at his home.
The resignation marks a critical juncture in a case that has shadowed Justice Varma’s recent tenure. He originally moved to the Allahabad High Court from the Delhi High Court following the emergence of the controversy, eventually taking his oath on April 5, 2025.

Because the resignation occurred while an internal probe was active, legal experts are now debating the future of the accountability process.
