A three-member parliamentary panel has found all charges of financial misconduct against former judge Justice Yashwant Varma proved. The report, tabled in the Lok Sabha on August 12, 2026, concluded that unexplained burnt currency was discovered in the storeroom of his official residence after a fire in March 2025. It said the failure to preserve evidence was a material lapse, and the judge's explanation was evasive and unsatisfactory. The committee comprised Supreme Court Justice Aravind Kumar, Bombay High Court Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and senior advocate B V Acharya.
