The Central Bureau of Investigation claimed that Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra’s plea, challenging a Lokpal order granting sanction to the CBI to file a chargesheet against her in the alleged cash for query scam, “frivolous" and just a “device to delay proceedings," as per reports.

“Arguments heard. Judgment reserved,” a division bench comprising Justice Anil Kshetarpal and Justice Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar said during the hearing, reported Live Law.

No interim order, however, has been passed on Moitra's application for stay on the sanction order.
