Patna: The Nitish Kumar government got a reprieve on Friday when Patna High Court stayed its previous order on whether or not the allegations levelled in a PIL in connection with the CAG report were a fit case to be referred to the CBI.
After an almost two-day hearing on the interlocutory petition filed by the state government seeking modifications in its order dated July 15, a division bench comprising Chief Justice R M Doshit and Justice S K Katriar also stayed its directive to the CBI director and Joint Director to be present in the court on July 26.
Advocate General P K Sahi told PTI that the bench had put a stay on paragraph 18 and 19 of its July 15 order wherein both these two points were elaborated. "It implies that there won't be any CBI inquiry," he said.
The order states: "...whether or not the allegations levelled in the writ petitions are fit to be referred for the investigation by the CBI."
