The move by the top court comes at a time when there is widespread speculation following the recent cash recovery from the residence of Delhi High Court judge, Justice Yashwant Varma
In an attempt to enhance transparency, all 33 sitting judges of the Supreme Court of India have unanimously resolved to declare their assets to the public.
This decision was made during a full court meeting on April 1, 2025.
According to the official resolution uploaded on the website, it states: "The Full Court of the Supreme Court of India had resolved that Judges should make a declaration of their assets on assuming office and whenever any acquisition of a substantial nature is made, to the Chief Justice. This also includes declarations) by the Chief Justice of India. Placing the declaration of assets on the Supreme Court website will be on a voluntary basis."
While the submission of asset declarations is mandatory, placing these declarations on the top court's website will be on a voluntary basis.
This development comes after recent fire at the official residence of Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma led to the discovery of a substantial amount of unaccounted cash, raising concerns within the judiciary.
