Supreme Court agrees to hear urgently Punjab’s plea against CBI probe linked to CM Mann’s office
The allegations raised by the ED against public servants and private individuals linked to the AAP government include corruption in transfers and postings, policy manipulation, cash for tenders, and other serious irregularities
The Supreme Court has agreed to urgently hear the Punjab government's plea against a State High Court order directing the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate corruption allegations against the office of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Senior advocates Vikas Singh and Shadan Farasat argued that the order violated federal principles and claimed the allegations were politically motivated and related to administrative matters.
The court is expected to hear the case within 24 hours or on October 8, with a deadline for the investigation outcome report set within two months.
