The trial court concerned at Rohtak has been directed to transmit “all records” to the competent Special Court of the CBI

The directions by Justice Manjari Nehru Kaul came on a bunch of eight petitions. During the course of hearing, the Bench observed that one FIR was registered on June 7, 2022, for abetment to suicide and other offences, while the other was registered on July 2, 2022, for rape and other offences. Both cases were registered at the city police station in Rohtak.
