Another court had earlier dismissed Bansal's plea to

transfer the matter from the court of magistrate Malhotra, saying the application was not maintainable.

The EOW had earlier filed a status report seeking time to conclude its inquiry into allegations of irregularities in grant of contracts for roads and sewer lines in the city.

The complainant has alleged that documents showing purchase of material were "concocted and forged", and a loss of over Rs 10 crore had been caused to the public exchequer.

The plea demanded that the role of the chief minister be investigated as he had allegedly caused substantive gains to Bansal and others by using his influence.

The complainant alleged that Bansal operated through several dummy firms to obtain the government contracts in connivance with several senior PWD officials. These contracts never got executed "whereas shockingly all the payments were cleared under pressure from Kejriwal".
