💨 Abstract

Justice Yashwant Varma, transferred from Delhi High Court amid cash-at-home allegations, was secretly sworn into the Allahabad High Court. The High Court Bar Association (HCBA) condemned this move, as it was not notified to the Bar and allegedly erodes public trust in the judicial system. The association questioned the legality and tradition of the oath, and requested the Chief Justice not to assign any work to the judge.
