Supreme Court Permits Chhattisgarh to Seek Bail Cancellation of Ex-IAS Officer Anil Tuteja
The Supreme Court allowed Chhattisgarh to approach the high court for cancellation of bail granted to retired IAS officer Anil Tuteja if he misuses it. The court clarified that bail-stage observations will not affect the ongoing corruption trial involving alleged irregularities in the District Mineral Fund and a liquor scam. Tuteja, linked to the Bhupesh Baghel government, has been under investigation and in jail since January 2024 before receiving bail in late 2025 and early 2026.
