The Punjab government challenged the high court order directing a CBI probe into corruption allegations against individuals linked to the AAP-led government, arguing that it violates the federal structure and is being trumped up during election time.
The allegations prompting the high court order include cash for transfers and cash for securing favourable policies, with the petitioner noting that no action was taken despite communications from the Enforcement Directorate.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana agreed to hear the matter on Wednesday or Thursday, observing that till then nothing will happen.
