Delhi High Court Grants Lokpal Two More Months to Decide Sanction Against Mahua Moitra

The Delhi High Court has granted the Lokpal of India an additional two months to decide whether a sanction should be granted to the CBI to file a chargesheet against TMC MP Mahua Moitra in the alleged cash-for-query case.

The Court clarified that no further extension would be permitted.

It recalled that in December 2025, the Lokpal’s earlier sanction order was quashed for legal infirmities and violation of natural justice.

The Lokpal was directed to reconsider the matter afresh after hearing Moitra’s submissions.
