Supreme Court Seeks Government Response on Property Confiscation Plea in Paper Leak Cases
The Supreme Court has issued notices to the Centre and state governments on a plea seeking confiscation of property belonging to offenders and their families involved in exam paper leak cases. The plea, filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, also requests invoking laws like the Prevention of Corruption Act and Money Laundering Act. While Upadhyay withdrew his demand for time-bound probes citing recent legislative amendments, the Court scheduled the next hearing for September 25, 2026.
