Around 158 cases linked to alleged recruitment examination irregularities are awaiting the start of trial in various courts in the country despite the completion of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigations, with some of them registered more than two decades ago, sources said.

The CBI has decided to approach all high courts to transfer these pending cases to the fast-track courts, which are being set up in various states to handle cases under the new anti-paper leak law, they said.

In Delhi, there are around 25 cases since 2000 that are awaiting trial. These include the AIIMS PG recruitment examination of 2010-11, CAT irregularities of 2004, SSC recruitment of 2013, and more.
