The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to register a criminal case to probe allegations of corruption linked to the Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's office.

A bench of Chief Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Rohit Kapoor said, "State of Punjab as well as Punjab Police would render all assistance to the CBI in carrying out of fair investigation."

A detailed order is awaited.

The Court was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition filed by advocate Nikhil Saraf.

It was submitted that Punjab Police had failed to take appropriate action on the letters written by Enforcement Directorate (ED) for probe into the allegations against Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann's Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Rajbir Singh Ghuman.

According to the ED, one Nitin Gohal acted as intermediary between people seeking favours from the government. The allegations relate to transfers, access to confidential government documents, facilitation of arms licences and other benefits.
