Law Minister R B Subba told the Assembly that the cases automatically stood transferred to the Lokayukta as the Lokayukta Act was now in force in Sikkim.
The Congress had levelled allegations of corruption against 22 former ministers of the SDF government in 2010. A commission of inquiry, headed by Justice (retd) R K Patra was set up by the state government to look into the allegations.
The commission's report was tabled in the Sikkim Assembly yesterday.
The commission had directed the state government to "inquire into certain aspects" of allegations levelled against them.
