The Himachal Pradesh High Court on Friday dismissed the petition of Union Steel Minister Virbhadra Singh for transfer of a corruption case against him by the state government to the central bureau of investigation(CBI). Sources said the state vigilance and anti-corruption bureau later on Friday filed a chargesheet in a trial court against Singh.
The division bench of Chief Justice Kurian Joseph and Justice Deepak Gupta earlier said it is not an appropriate case to grant the prayer to transfer the investigation to the CBI. The court further said it was for the appropriate special judge of the trial court to consider the plea raised by Singh.
