What happened
The Supreme Court criticized the Delhi Police and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for proceeding in what the Court described as an “open-ended” manner in a case involving promoters.

The Supreme Court indicated that the Delhi Police and the CBI must clarify the status of the case and the basis for continuing the case.
