On May 30, the High Court had ordered re-investigation by the CBI after one of the original petitioners, the Law Students Association, had approached the Court regarding alleged bribe taken by some of the officers of CBI from the suspected colleges for passing a favorable report.
In February, the CBI had given a clean chit to 169 nursing colleges.
Taking cognizance of the issue of bribe, the High Court had directed that the CBI team will also include a judicial officer, who will be the Registrar of District Court of the respective districts where the inspection is to be conducted.
It had also said that even videography can be carried out if needed during the course of the probe, and the investigation shall be completed within 3 months.
The nursing colleges then approached the Supreme Court against the same.
