Delhi HC Considers IO Change in Ahlmad Corruption Case
A court clerk is accused of taking bribes.
The Delhi High Court is looking into the case.
The court has asked the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), which is investigating the case, to think about replacing the officer in charge.
The clerk says the officer is biased and wants the investigation moved to a different agency.
The court stated that it does not tolerate corruption and that the case is serious.
The court had previously decided not to investigate the judge associated with the case due to lack of evidence.
The clerk's request for bail was previously denied, and the case continues.
Delhi High Court asked the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to consider changing the investigating officer (IO) in a corruption case.
The case involves allegations of bribe demands against a court clerk (ahlmad).
The ahlmad is seeking anticipatory bail and a transfer of the investigation to the CBI.
The court noted the ACB's status report prima facie implicates the accused clerk.
The High Court previously found insufficient evidence to investigate a judge for bribery related to the case.
