New Delhi | November 28, 2025 — The Delhi High Court has quashed the Lokpal proceedings initiated against Defence Secretary RK Singh, ruling that the allegations lacked sufficient grounds for investigation. The verdict brings relief to the senior bureaucrat, who had challenged the proceedings on legal and procedural grounds.
The court emphasized that due process must be strictly followed in cases involving high-ranking officials, and any lapse can undermine administrative functioning. Legal experts note that the judgment reinforces safeguards for civil servants against arbitrary or unfounded inquiries while maintaining accountability under the Lokpal Act.
