Delhi HC seeks confidentiality on CBI report on cash-for-query rip-off towards Mahua Moitra

The Delhi High Court on Monday (August 11, 2025) requested the CBI and all events involved to keep up “confidentiality” on the company’s report earlier than the Lokpal in reference to an alleged cash-for-query rip-off involving Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra.

Justice Sachin Datta gave the path on Ms. Moitra’s plea alleging that the media was alerted as quickly because the CBI filed its report earlier than the Lokpal.

“I’ll make it clear saying that confidentiality be maintained. I’ll eliminate the petition… There’s little doubt that confidentiality must be maintained. There is not any dispute that everybody is certain to keep up confidentiality,” the choose mentioned, including that he’ll cross an in depth order.

Ms. Moitra’s counsel claimed that quickly after the CBI filed the report earlier than Lokpal, the event was made public to the media.

The counsel mentioned that although he was not asking for any takedown order, the provisions of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act in addition to the authority’s round ought to be complied with.

Last month, the CBI submitted its report back to the Lokpal in reference to the alleged cash-for-query rip-off case involving the Trinamool Congress chief and businessman Darshan Hiranandani.
