The CBI will start its probe from Monday July 13,2015
The SC bench headed by Chief Justice HL Dattu handed over the probe to the CBI after Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi told the court that he has instructions by the Madhya Pradesh government on handing over the probe to the CBI.
The SC also issued a notice to the CBI and sought its response within two weeks on the demand for a SC-monitored investigation.
In its order, the SC said: "The AG on instructions says that the state of Madhya Pradesh has no objection whatsoever for transferring investigation into criminal cases related to Vyapam scam to the CBI and also the cases related to the deaths of the persons...for fair and impartial investigation."
"We appreciate the stand fo the attorney general", the court said and added: "In view of the above, we transfer investigation of criminal cases relating to Vyapam scam and the deaths to the CBI from Monday."
Meanwhile, the court has issued notice on a plea challenging the Madhya Pradesh High Court order quashing the FIR against state Governor Ram Naresh Yadav for his alleged involvement in forest guard recruitment scam on the grounds that he enjoyed immunity of the constitutional office he was occupying.
The SC issued notice to the Centre and the Madhya Pradesh government on the petition demanding the removal of Yadav. The court has sought a reply within four weeks.
Senior lawyer Kapil Sibal, while arguing for the petitioner, asked as to why the Governor has not been removed from his post
