A special court in Delhi accepted the CBI's closure report in the 2018 corruption case against Satyendar Jain. What was the main reason cited by the court for accepting the closure?

The judge emphasized that there was no material to suggest a criminal conspiracy or pecuniary benefit to any party. The court noted that mere suspicion cannot replace proof and that strong suspicion is required even to initiate proceedings. It also highlighted that the hiring process was justified due to a shortage of specialized staff in PWD, making outsourcing a common and accepted practice. The professionals were hired transparently through an open process with a broad-based committee ensuring fairness.

Who has been appointed to head the high-level committee for formulating a transparent and socially secure excise policy in Delhi?
Pravesh Sahib SinghThe Delhi Government has constituted a high-level committee to formulate a transparent and socially secure excise policy, which is headed by Cabinet Minister Pravesh Sahib Singh. This step comes in the wake of controversies surrounding the previous excise policy under Arvind Kejriwal’s government, which led to corruption charges against him and his deputy Manish Sisodia. The new committee aims to close any gaps in the system and ensure fool-proof implementation. It is reviewing excise policies from other states to adopt best practices focused on effective liquor distribution and social protection. The policy will include reforms like scientific liquor testing, digitisation of sales, and strict action against illegal sales.
