Justice Yashwant Varma resignation remains unaccepted by President Droupadi Murmu

Fire and withdrawal stall Varma case

According to the rules, a judge's resignation kicks in once it reaches the president. But a Supreme Court ruling says if a judge wants out right away, that should be honored.
Right now, Justice Varma's case is stuck because of a fire at his residence and his withdrawal from inquiry proceedings.
The discovery of unaccounted money at his official residence has sparked fresh conversations about transparency and trust in India's courts.
