Orders for re-investigation of the nursing colleges found eligible in the presence of Judicial Magistrate. The High Court has given instructions to get videography and photography done. The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ordered re-investigation of the 169 nursing colleges found eligible by the CBI in the presence of Judicial Magistrate. The division bench of Justice Sanjay Dwivedi and Justice A K Paliwal has directed the CBI to get the investigation videographed and photographed. During this, the director and principal of the college will also be compulsorily present. The next hearing on the petition has been scheduled for July 15.
 
A petition was filed in the High Court by the Law Students’ Association challenging the fake nursing colleges. During the hearing of the petition, the High Court was told that out of the 364 nursing colleges operating in the State, the Supreme Court has issued stay orders on the investigation of 56 colleges. A total of 308 nursing colleges were investigated by the CBI. Out of which 169 colleges have been found eligible. In the investigation, there are 74 colleges which can be improved and 65 colleges are ineligible. In the application presented by the petitioner in the High Court, it was said that trusting the investigation report presented by the CBI, the High Court had earlier issued detailed orders regarding the operation of nursing colleges and inclusion of students in the examination.
 
It was said on behalf of the applicant that in the current situation, it has come to light that the entire investigation report of the CBI is not trustworthy. The CBI officers who were part of the investigation of nursing colleges are accused of being involved in corruption. Delhi CBI has filed an FIR against them and arrested them. A copy of the FIR registered by CBI Delhi was also presented along with the application. It was said in the application that in such a situation, the investigation report of CBI cannot be trusted. The division bench passed the above orders after hearing. Advocate Alok Bagrecha pleaded on behalf of the petitioner.
