On Monday, the CBI represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed the top court that the agency has decided to lodge a first information report (FIR). The bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar and Sanjiv Khanna allowed the agency to proceed in accordance with law and said, “Investigation agency must collect materials on its own. The lawyers representing the police officers sought for a copy of the Committee report. The bench allowed CBI to upload the FIR on its website without passing any specific directions in this regard. Interestingly, this is not the first time the CBI is handling the ISRO spy scandal case.
