Decs clear for CBI inquiry in to Ghaziabad Court P F Scam

The Supreme Court on Tuesday will be hearing a petition asking for CBI inquiry into the Ghaziabad Court P F Scam. It has not become almost certain that the CBI inquiry would be ordered in the scam as the Uttar Pradesh government has already recommended for the CBI inquiry into the whole scam. The court during the last hearing had asked the state government if they were open to the idea of CBI probe in the case.

During the last hearing, the court also lashed out the state government for not bringing to the court's knowledge, the letters written by SSP, Ghaziabad to DGP of the state. The SSP had written to the DGP saying "it was impossible for the local police to investigate the matter freely". A bench headed by Justices Arijit Pasayat is hearing a petition filed by Nahar Singh Yadav asking for CBI inquiry into the whole scam.

The Chief Justice of India Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice B N Agrawal have already recused themselves from hearing the case. The petition alleged that 34 members of judiciary, including an apex court judge, seven Allahabad High Court judge, six retired High Court judge and 12 judges from subordinate judiciary in the state, were beneficiary of crores of rupees allegedly withdrawn from the provident fund account of third and fourth-grade employees in Ghaziabad region between 2001 and 2008.
