U O I vs SUSHIL KUMAR MODHI

The Supreme Court upheld the Patna High Court's directive for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the Fodder Scam, involving large-scale misappropriation of public funds in the Animal Husbandry Department from 1977-78 to 1995-96. The Court emphasized that the investigation should be under the overall control and supervision of the Patna High Court to alleviate state apprehensions regarding CBI control. The Court modified the High Court's order to allow the CBI to take over investigations already initiated by the State police, ensuring expeditious follow-up actions to prevent loss of evidence.
