A Lok Sabha panel has found charges proven against former High Court judge Yashwant Varma in a case involving cash found at his official residence. The panel said his explanation was evasive and unsatisfactory, and that he failed to adequately explain the cash discovered in a storeroom. It also stated that his response lacked candour, transparency and institutional responsibility. The case came to light after a fire broke out at the official residence on the night of March 14 last year. The panel's findings amount to an indictment of the former judge, who has been accused in connection with the discovery of cash. The report does not specify the amount of cash found.
