Who is Justice Yashwant Varma, the judge at the centre of cash recovery row?

India Today  

Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma, who has been embroiled in controversy over an alleged discovery of a large stash of cash at his official residence, has had a long and distinguished career in the judiciary. His legal acumen saw him serve as the special counsel at the Allahabad High Court from 2006 and later as the chief standing counsel for the Uttar Pradesh government from 2012. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has dismissed speculation linking Justice Varma's transfer to Allahabad High Court to the alleged cash recovery. "There is misinformation and rumours being spread regarding the incident at the residence of Justice Yashwant Varma," the Supreme Court said in a press note, emphasising that his transfer to the Allahabad High Court is an independent decision and not connected to the controversy.
