Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal Tuesday asked the Delhi government's probe agency to file the status report within eight weeks and decided to next hear the matter Oct 19.
The court was hearing a petition filed by right to information activist Vivek Garg seeking direction to register a case against the prime minister and Maran for committing offences of criminal breach of trust, cheating and other various sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
