CBI submits 2nd status report on UP PF scam

New Delhi, Feb 4 (PTI) The CBI today submitted its second status report on its investigations into the Rs 23 crore Uttar Pradesh Provident Fund(PF) scam. This report details the agency's examination of over 10 High Court judges and nearly two dozen district judges, official sources said today. The report which was submitted to the Supreme Court claims to have found some alleged misappropriation of funds by a few judges. The report stated that further detailed examination is needed, sources said. Earlier, in its first status report, CBI alleged that the provident fund savings of Ghaziabad courts employees were illegally used to buy certain household and electronic items for higher and district judiciary. On September 23, 2008, the Supreme Court had transferred the investigations into the UP provident fund scam to the CBI after the Ghaziabad SP probing the case expressed his inability in carrying out the investigations into the scam involving judicial officers. The 34 members of judiciary whose names have cropped up in the scam include an apex court judge, seven Allahabad High Court judges, six retired High Court judges and 12 judges from subordinate judiciary in Uttar Pradesh.
