Fire Exposes Huge Cash Stash at Delhi HC Judge's Home, Transfer Ordered

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu) : In a shocking development, a Delhi High Court judge has been embroiled in a cash controversy after a large sum of money was discovered at their official residence, which caught fire recently. The incident has prompted the Supreme Court Collegium to recommend the transfer of the judge to another high court. According to sources, the fire broke out at the judge's official residence in the early hours of the morning, and firefighters were rushed to the spot to douse the flames. During the firefighting operation, a large sum of cash was discovered in one of the rooms, which has raised eyebrows and sparked an investigation. The Delhi Police have launched an inquiry into the matter and are investigating how the cash ended up at the judge's residence. The police are also examining the judge's financial transactions and assets to determine if there was any wrongdoing.

The Supreme Court Collegium, which is responsible for the transfer and appointment of judges, has taken cognizance of the matter and recommended the transfer of the judge to the Allahabad High Court. The Collegium has also asked the Delhi High Court to initiate an inquiry into the matter and submit a report. The incident has sparked a controversy and raised questions about the integrity of the judiciary. The opposition parties have demanded a thorough investigation into the matter and action against the judge if found guilty. The judge, who has been serving in the Delhi High Court for several years, has denied any wrongdoing and claimed that the cash was part of their personal savings. However, the explanation has failed to convince many, and the incident has tarnished the image of the judiciary. The incident has also raised concerns about the security of judges and their families. The Delhi Police have been asked to provide additional security to judges and their families, and the government has promised to take steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
