The Centre was on Wednesday asked by the Delhi HC to file a status report on a representation to it for a CBI probe into the alleged foreign funding of Team Anna for spearheading an anti-graft stir here.
A division bench of Chief Justice D Murugesan and Rajiv Sahai Endlaw granted three weeks to the Union home ministry to file the report after Additional Solicitor General Rajeev Mehra told the bench that ‘the ministry is under the process of filing the status report.’
The bench gave the direction on an application by Manohar Lal Sharma, an advocate, who said the govt has failed to file status report within 3 months after considering his representation.
The bench had directed the Centre to treat Sharma’s plea to the court for probe into the alleged foreign funding of anti-graft campaigner Team Anna as a representation and dispose it of in three months and file a status report after considering the representation.
In his petition, Sharma had alleged that Team Anna got foreign funding in violation of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA).
