Clearcut defiance by CBI, conveys it doesn't care about our orders: Delhi court

India Today  

A Delhi court on Monday came down heavily on the Central Bureau of Investigation, accusing the agency of concealing material from the court in a probe into an alleged bank fraud case. Pointing out that the CBI failed to produce the crime file of the case despite clear directions, the court noted, "It appears that the investigating agency has something material to conceal from the court, on which they want to put a veil of secrecy, so that the truth should never come out and see the light of the day and remains embedded in the crime file." The court observed that any concealment or non-production of the crime file would only enhance the suspicion that the investigating agency is deliberately withholding crucial information from the court. The non-production of the crime file could lead to a prima facie inference that the investigating agency is concealing something important from the court which it does not want to be disclosed.
