Punjab High Court Reserves Verdict on Corruption Allegations Against State Officials
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has reserved its verdict on a public interest litigation alleging corruption involving senior Punjab government officers, including claims of cash-for-transfers and favorable policies. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) accused the Punjab government of neglecting its duties by not acting on a letter requesting an FIR registration. The state government requested three weeks to submit a final status report, asserting ongoing investigations to address the allegations. The court is considering the petition's maintainability after multiple hearings.
