The Delhi High Court does not entertain a plea seeking registration of an FIR and an investigation against former judge Yashwant Varma, after cash is reported to have been found at his residence. The court hears the matter before Justice Amit Bansal and indicates it will not proceed with the request.
Justice Bansal characterises the petition as a “wild witch hunt” and also raises concerns about the petitioner's legal standing. The outlets describe the judge as pointing to alternative remedies available to the petitioner under the law, rather than granting the relief sought.
After the court signals dismissal, the petitioner withdraws the plea, choosing to pursue other legal options instead. Across both reports, the focus is on the High Court’s refusal to entertain the FIR request and the petitioner’s decision to withdraw following the court’s observations about maintainability and available remedies.
