A Delhi court has dismissed former Bihar CM Rabri Devi’s request to transfer CBI and ED cases linked to the IRCTC hotel tender and land-for-jobs scam. The court held that the trials will continue before the same judge at the Rouse Avenue Courts.
A recent Supreme Court petition calls for the confiscation of political party funds obtained through the electoral bonds scheme, which was invalidated in February.

Today (14th May): Two NGOs have urged the Supreme Court for a court-monitored investigation into alleged “quid pro quo” instances in the electoral bonds scheme involving political parties, corporate entities, and investigative agencies. This comes after the scheme was deemed unconstitutional. They seek recovery of funds from companies involved in such arrangements and emphasize the need for thorough investigation.
