Supreme Court Dismisses Petition on Justice Yashwant Varma Cash Row as Publicity Stunt

The Supreme Court criticized a petition filed in connection with the Justice Yashwant Varma controversy, calling it an attempt at cheap publicity. The case stems from an incident in March last year when a large amount of unaccounted cash was discovered at Justice Varma's official residence in Delhi, when he was serving as a Delhi High Court judge. The find triggered a significant controversy surrounding the sitting judge. The Supreme Court's remarks indicate the bench's disapproval of petitions it views as lacking genuine legal merit.
