Supreme Court directs CBI to take over all Vyapam cases

The Supreme Court directed the CBI on Friday to inform it in three weeks about taking over the probe of most of the 185 cases related to the Vyapam scam.

A Bench, led by Chief Justice of India H.L. Dattu, asked the Department of Personnel and Training to inform it by the next hearing on August 7 about filling of vacancies in the CBI as the agency had complained that a shortage of manpower was hindering the probe.

The Bench said the CBI should be in a position to complete within six weeks the task of appointing lawyers to prosecute the cases in various special CBI courts in Madhya Pradesh. “We have so much of faith in you. You take up the cases. Whether it is in Bhopal, Jabhalpur or any other place. You will have your own counsel for prosecution,” the Bench said.
