The Supreme Court will today hear the plea of CBI that the Special Investigation Team, SIT be allowed to file charge sheets in the Vyapam scam cases in which the investigation is over. The apex court on last Thursday agreed to hear the plea of the probe agency. <br/><br/>A three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice H L Dattu had fixed the plea for hearing today and asked the CBI to serve the copy of the application to the parties concerned. Additional Solicitor General, ASG Maninder Singh, appearing for the CBI, said that the transfer of more than 185 Vyapam scam cases from the SIT to the CBI will take time and the state investigating agency will be allowed to file charge sheets in the cases in which the probe is complete. <br/><br/>The ASG said that otherwise, the accused will get statutory bail on account of default of non-filing of charge sheets within stipulated time period. On July 9th, the Supreme Court had ordered a transfer of the probe into all Vyapam scam cases and the deaths allegedly linked to it to the CBI. The CBI has registered at least 12 cases so far in the scam.'<br/><br/>The court has also sought responses from the Centre, state and others on several pleas seeking a CBI probe into the irregularities in the Dental and Medical Admission Test, DMAT to fill management and government seats in private medical colleges in Madhya Pradesh.
