Supreme Court's 1992 Bhajan Lal ruling guides transfer of IAS officers' cross-FIR cases to anti-corruption court
A court has transferred two cases involving cross-FIRs filed by IAS officers to the anti-corruption court, citing a 1992 Supreme Court ruling on jurisdictional matters.
The cases concern retired IAS officer Ashok Khemka and Ambala Divisional Commissioner Sanjeev Verma. The judge relied on the precedent set in the 1992 Bhajan Lal judgment, which addressed similar jurisdictional questions.
The transfer decision reflects how courts apply established judicial precedents to resolve procedural and jurisdictional disputes in cases involving senior bureaucrats.
