New Delhi, March 28 -- The Supreme Court rejected a petition on Friday that sought the registration of a first information report (FIR) against Delhi High Court Justice Yashwant Varma.

Varma got embroiled in a controversy after huge amount of cash was reportedly recovered from his official Delhi residence on March 14.

While refusing to entertain a petition seeking an FIR against Varma, the Supreme said on Friday that the in-house inquiry is ongoing.

"If the report sees something wrong, FIR can be directed or matter can be referred to parliament. Today is not the time to consider it," the court said as per Bar and Bench.
