Lawyers who attended the hearing said the single bench of justice Rajarshi Bharadwaj ordered the CBI to take into its possession all official records relevant to the alleged financial scams by 10am on Saturday and file a status report before the bench by September 17.

“The high court heard my petition and ordered CBI to take over the probe from the special investigation team the state government formed two days ago. I am happy. I am sure CBI will unravel the truth,” Dr Akhtar Ali, the hospital’s former deputy superintendent who filed the petition, told the media.

Ali moved the high court on Wednesday seeking an Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe into the alleged malpractices and financial scams that surfaced during the tenure of Ghosh.
