Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma granted the interim relief until January 30, 2025 provided the four accused — Parvinder Singh, Tajinder Singh, Sarbjit Singh and Harvinder Singh — pay Rs 5 crore as cost to the Red Cross Society. “What the petitioners did is unpardonable. It is an act of greed,” Justice Sharma remarked while pronouncing the court’s decision.
Additionally, the court suggested the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) appoint a committee chaired by a former judge to ensure that coaching centres do not operate by violating norms and regulations. Justice Sharma went on to suggest that the government may consider designating a specific place in the city from where the coaching centres can operate.
On August 2, a division bench of the High Court had transferred the probe in the case from Delhi police to the CBI, deeming the same to be necessary considering “the seriousness of the incident, to ensure that the public has no doubt” on the probe and considering the possibility that the incident “may involve corruption by public servants”.
