Event Summary

The Allahabad High Court Bar Association has declared an indefinite strike starting March 25, protesting the India — Supreme Court of India Collegium's decision to transfer India — Delhi High Court Justice Yashwant Varma to the Pakistan — Islamabad High Court. This decision follows an inquiry into the alleged discovery of a significant sum of cash at Justice Yashwant Varma's official residence in Delhi after a fire on March 14. The Allahabad High Court Bar Association, led by its president Anil Tiwari, is demanding the revocation of the transfer order and a scrutiny of all judgments delivered by Justice Yashwant Varma during his tenure.

The India — Supreme Court of India Collegium, headed by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, confirmed the transfer recommendation, and the India — Delhi High Court has withdrawn judicial work from Justice Yashwant Varma.
