The CBI special court directed accused Deepesh Chandak to transfer the Rs1.33 crore seized nearly three decades ago into the Jharkhand government account.
The CBI's special court has issued a directive for the transfer of Rs 1,33,60,000, which was seized from Deepesh Chandak about 29 years ago. The amount, originally confiscated in a fraud investigation, is to be credited to the Jharkhand state treasury. The court order underscores the agency's effort to recover assets for the public exchequer.
According to the ruling, the seized funds must be deposited directly into the designated account of the Jharkhand government without further delay. The decision comes after a prolonged legal process that began shortly after the original seizure.
The case highlights the challenges of asset recovery in long‑running corruption probes, and the court's order aims to ensure that the money returns to the state's coffers, potentially augmenting public resources after nearly three decades of limbo.
