Supreme Court Adjourns Punjab Government's Plea Against CBI Probe Into Corruption Allegations
The Supreme Court adjourned the Punjab government's plea challenging a High Court order directing the CBI to investigate corruption allegations linked to the AAP-led state government, including cash-for-transfer and policy favoritism claims. The hearing was deferred due to a delay in case files reaching the bench. The Punjab government argued the High Court erred in mandating FIR registration without prior sanction under relevant laws. Meanwhile, the CBI has registered a case against officials, including the Chief Minister's officer, and conducted searches in Punjab and Chandigarh.
