The Punjab-Haryana High Court has handed over the investigation of the 'Cash for Transfer' and corruption case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and directed it to register an FIR and submit a status report within two months.
The case came to light following a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Advocate Nikhil Saraf, demanding an independent and court-monitored CBI investigation into the corruption network.
