CBI must probe all Vyapam cases: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Monday said that all cases related to Madhya Pradesh’s Vyapam scam would have to be taken over by the CBI, including cases where investigations are over or trial courts have delivered the final judgment. “All cases have to go to CBI now even if the investigations are complete and chargesheets are filed. Even where orders of acquittals have been passed by trial courts, you (CBI) will have to read the judgment and see the reasons. People have faith in you. Even the state government has reposed its faith in you,” a bench led by CJI H L Dattu told Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar, who appeared for the agency. The clarification came after Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, representing the Madhya Pradesh government, asked the bench to explain whether the CBI also had to take over cases in which chargesheets had been filed by the state police.
