In a significant development, the Supreme Court Wednesday ordered transfer of over 40 FIRs related to the Bitcoin cryptocurrency scam to the CBI for further investigation and shifted the trial to a Delhi court.
Observing that the accused, who are on anticipatory bail, cannot be allowed to "stultify" the ongoing probe, the top court vacated its August 30, 2019 order granting them the relief of pre-arrest bail.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said now the accused, if not granted regular bail by other courts, will have to seek the relief from the Delhi High Court.
