Supreme Court directs no coercive action on FIR linked to Punjab CM office
The Supreme Court has directed that no coercive action be taken on an FIR linked to the Punjab Chief Minister's office, in a corruption case drawing close watch.
The interim protection gives the individuals named in the FIR breathing room while the legal questions around the case are examined.
The matter adds to a busy political docket for the court, which is also hearing challenges around the electoral-roll revision.
The Punjab government has yet to issue a detailed public response to the court's direction.
