CBI Court Dismisses Contempt Plea Against Agency Over FIR Publication in Punjab Case
A special CBI court in Chandigarh dismissed a contempt plea filed by Rajbir Singh Ghuman, Officer on Special Duty to Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, against the CBI for allegedly leaking an FIR in a corruption case. The court ruled that the temporary exemption from uploading the FIR was to protect evidence during ongoing searches, not a permanent ban. The FIR was later uploaded after search operations concluded, and the court found no willful disobedience by the CBI.
