SRINAGAR The Jammu and Kashmir High Court today sought statement of facts in a contempt petition over failure of CBI to file charge sheet within stipulated time into multi-crore scam in Jammu and Kashmir cricket Association with a month.
The directions were passed by a division bench on a contempt petition filed two former cricketers Majid Yaqoob Dar (a former Ranji Trophy player) and Nissar Ahmad Khan (a club level cricketer).
In February this year the high court closed a PIL after counsel for the Indias premier investigation agency said that investigation has been concluded and challan will be produced before the Court of law in one month.
On previous date of hearing, the CBI had stated that 360 number of documents have been collected so far from various offices including police authorities, auditors of JKCA, Board of Cricket Control in India (BBCI), having its office in Mumbai, HDFC Bank Mohali Punjab, ICICI Bank Chennai and different Branches of J&K Bank located in Srinagar and Jammu.
It examined over 70 persons which include office bearers of BCCI, JKCA and some private persons.
The high court on 9 March 2015 had handed over the probe to CBI, observing that police investigation lacked both speed and credibility and that lack of will to dig out the scamsters was writ large on the face of its performance.
