It runs into two volumes and includes oral and documentary evidence recorded during the investigation. Panel stops short on ownershipThe committee stopped short of holding that the currency belonged to Justice Varma, for want of substantial evidence establishing personal ownership. The panel comprised Supreme Court judge Justice Aravind Kumar, then Bombay High Court chief justice Shrikrishna Chandrashekhar, who has since been elevated to the Supreme Court, and senior advocate BV Acharya. That panel had concluded that Justice Varma had “active or tacit control” over the storeroom where the cash was found and held his explanation unsatisfactory, following which CJI Khanna asked him to resign or face the constitutional process for removal. Justice Varma, who was a Delhi High Court judge repatriated to his parent Allahabad High Court after the controversy, resigned from judicial office on April 9, 2026, while the parliamentary inquiry was under way.
