In a move aimed at enhancing transparency and strengthening public trust in the judiciary, all Supreme Court judges have agreed to publicly disclose their asset declarations.
During a full-court meeting on 1 April 2025, the judges decided to submit their asset declarations to the Chief Justice of India, and these will be made available on the Supreme Court’s official website. This decision comes in the wake of controversy surrounding the alleged discovery of cash at the official residence of Justice Yashwant Varma during his tenure at the Delhi High Court.
The specific procedures for publishing the asset declarations are still being finalized. Currently, all Supreme Court judges have submitted their asset declarations, although these have not yet been made public.
