The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to overturn the Delhi High Court’s order permitting the Union government and the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) to move forward with disciplinary proceedings against IRS officer and former Mumbai NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede.

The proceedings are linked to the 2021 Cordelia cruise drug seizure case, during his tenure as Zonal Director with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), the ANI reported.
