The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the CBI to file the case diary and the status report of the investigation in the 2017 SSC exam paper leak case. Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the petitioner Shantanu Kumar, submitted that the court had earlier directed the CBI to file the status report but no fresh report has been filed. The examination papers of the SSC CGL 2017 were allegedly leaked, leading to huge protests. Amid the protests, the SSC had recommended a CBI probe into the allegations of paper leak. The court then favoured cancelling the 2017 SSC examination, and holding it afresh by the National Testing Agency or the CBSE.
