Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, October 12, 2026: The Supreme Court has refused to stay a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR in an alleged corruption case linked to an Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to the Punjab Chief Minister. However, it directed that no coercive action be taken in connection with the FIR for the time being.
The apex court issued a notice on a petition filed by the Punjab government challenging a Punjab and Haryana High Court order directing the registration of an FIR in the case.
While declining to stay the FIR, the Supreme Court ordered that no coercive steps be taken against the concerned parties at this stage.
The Punjab government has approached the Supreme Court challenging the High Court's direction to register the FIR. The apex court has sought responses from the concerned parties.
The case relates to alleged corruption involving the Punjab Chief Minister's OSD. Further proceedings will depend on the court's consideration of the matter.
