Please tell that a fire broke out at the government residence of Justice Yashwant Verma in Delhi at the time of Holi. After extinguishing the fire, a large number of burnt notes were found from a room when they were inspecting their house after extinguishing the fire. The firemen informed their high officials about this, then the matter opened. After this, the Supreme Court Collegium had transferred Justice Verma surrounded by the Delhi High Court to the Allahabad High Court to the Allahabad High Court. The Allahabad High Court Bar Association started an indefinite strike in protest against the transfer of Justice Verma.
However, when the CJI later ordered the Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court that no judicial work was taken from Justice Verma, then the Allahabad High Court Bar Association postponed its strike. However, the lawyers had definitely said that his opposition against Justice Verma would continue. After this, Justice Yashwant Verma was sworn in as a judge of the Allahabad High Court on 5 April. The swearing -in was boycotted by the Bar Association.
