Friday’s order was passed on a petition Saini had filed in 2018, demanding transfer of any matter registered against him to the CBI or any other independent agency outside Punjab.
Saini was arrested by Punjab's Vigilance Bureau Wednesday in connection with a case registered in September 2020 for cheating, forgery, corruption and other offences.
A 1982-batch IPS officer, Saini had been on the run for 15 days in a 29-year-old case of abduction and murder of a Sikh youth during the militancy years in Punjab.
The apex court also sought response from Punjab govt on Saini's plea challenging the Punjab & Haryana High Court order refusing to grant him anticipatory bail in the case.
Former judges and advocates have objected to the reference as ‘avoidable’, saying the two judges recused from Punjab ex-DGP Sumedh Singh Saini case for personal reasons.
Dharampal Singh was CBI officer who probed Sumedh Saini & 3 other officers for kidnapping 3 men, and filed the chargesheet. Now, at 78, he ‘doesn’t remember anything’.
