CHANDIGARH: In a major respite to suspended special CBI judge Sudhir Parmar, arrested by ED in connection with an alleged Rs 400-crore money-laundering scam involving real estate developers, a departmental committee has given him a clean chit. However, the inquiry officer’s report is yet to be accepted by HC administration. Parmar faced charges of misconduct and favouritism to benefit accused in ED and CBI cases.Sources confirmed to TOI that inquiry officer Nirbhow Gill, Jalandhar district and sessions judge, did not find much against Parmar. The report, submitted to HC, will now be examined by Vigilance Disciplinary Committee before being placed before the full court.The inquiry began on Oct 19, 2024, under Haryana Civil Services Rules. Acceptance of clean chit would be a setback to Haryana Vigilance Bureau. Parmar, suspended in April 2023, was jailed from Aug 10 to Nov 2, 2023.
