CBI registers case against ex-Justice of Odisha HC, others for corruption

New Delhi, Sept 20 (UNI) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case against former Justice of Odisha High Court and others for their alleged involvement in corruption. "A case was registered against retired Judge of the High Court of Odisha; five private persons and others under section 120-B of IPC and section 8 of Prevention of Corruption Act 1988," the probe agency said in a statement here today. The CBI said it was alleged that two private persons were managing the affairs of private Education Trust at Lucknow which runs a Institute of Medical Science. The aforesaid college was among 46 colleges barred by the Government from admitting medical students for the forthcoming one or two years because of substandard facilities and non fulfilment of the required criteria. It was further alleged that the said private person got in touch with the Retd Justice of the High Court of Odisha and a private person resident of New Delhi, through another private person entered into criminal conspiracy for getting the matter settled, the agency stated. The CBI said in furtherance of the said conspiracy, a private person was caught when he was coming out after taking Rs one crore allegedly from a hawala operator based at Chandni Chowk here. The agency said searches were conducted at nine places including Delhi, Chandrasekharpur, Bhubaneshwar, Odhisha and Lucknow at the premises of accused persons and others which led to recovery of around Rs 91.90 lakh.
