TSPSC Paper Leak Case: Telangana High Court
declined to transfer the case to CBI

On Friday, the Telangana High Court denied transferring the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) - exam paper leak case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) while expressing satisfaction over the SIT investigation. The Hyderabad High Court has also Adjourned the hearing to 5th June.

The High Court also was unwilling to issue orders to transfer the case to the Centre's probe agency- CBI, from the SIT formed by the State Govt. in response to the petition filed by National Student of India (NSUI) Telangana president Balmuri Venkat that strived to transfer the case to CBI.

The Hyderabad High Court said that it could not interfere with transferring the investigation at this point while expressing its general satisfaction with the progress of the investigation being carried out by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).

The Hon'ble High Court desired to know when the SIT would complete its probe into the case. In response to this, Advocate General Prasad told the court that they are waiting for the Central Forensic Laboratory report, and the investigation is ongoing on this matter.

As per the reports, earlier the High Court had an opinion that the SIT probe was going on at a slow pace, but it seems now the court looked satisfied with the advocate general and SIT ACP Narsinga Rao's explanations on the progress of the SIT investigation. The High Court also asked a series of questions to the advocate general.
