The Supreme Court on Friday declined to pass any interim orders in an appeal by the Jharkhand government challenging a High Court decision upholding the maintainability of a plea seeking CBI probe against Chief Minister Hemant Soren in a money-laundering case.
A Vacation Bench of Justices J.K. Maheshwari and Hima Kohli prima facie said the Jharkhand High Court ought to decide the matter and the top court should not be asked to entertain the case in a piecemeal fashion.
However, the Vacation Bench said the case would be posted before an appropriate Bench of the Supreme Court after the holidays.
