A division bench comprising Justices Anil Dev Singh and R S Sodhi, in its recent order, asked Delhi police to send the landowners' complaint against Jhakar and his associate Kulwant Sidhu to the CBI director.

"In the circumstances of the case, we direct that the complaint of the petitioner Meena Chaudhary Sharma be forwarded to the director, CBI," the bench said.

The bench mentioned in its order of August 4 that the agency's DSP Mehar Singh, who has already dealt with similar cases in the past, would look into the matter.

The order has directed the investigating officer to hand over the files to Mehar Singh within a week.
