Court slammed investigation agencies in important cases

  • CBI flouted procedures with impunity and was conspicuously ambiguous in its probe in a graft case against IAS officer Rajendra Kumar, principal secretary to Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, and other officials [12]

A special CBI court sent a reference to the Delhi High Court to initiate contempt proceedings against the investigation officer of a corruption case [12:1]

  • Delhi court pulled ED up for ‘wrongly’ linking minister Jain with 3 companies in the money launderign case as he was neither the director nor associated with any of them [13]

This judge was changed

“He (Jain) was neither the director nor associated with them. How will the companies become Satyendar Jain’s just by naming him? Is this the first time that you are filing a prosecution complaint? Don’t you vet the document before giving it to the court…Should I conduct a fishing inquiry on the basis of these papers? Do you think IO can give anything he wants? Jain does not become the director just because you have written it,” the special judge Geetanjali Goel told additional solicitor general (ASG) SV Raju. [13:1]

  • Delhi alleged liquor scam case - The SC bench said most of the allegations in the corruption case registered by the CBI against Sisodia were "hearsay", based on the statements made by approvers [14]
