On December 19, 2025, the high court had set aside an order of the Lokpal granting sanction to the CBI to file a chargesheet against Moitra in the alleged cash-for-query scam.

The Delhi High Court had quashed the Lokpal's order granting sanction to the CBI to file a charge sheet against Moitra in the cash-for-query row.

The cash-for-query scam pertains to the allegation that Moitra had asked questions in the House in exchange for cash and gifts from a businessman.

With the Lokpal's approval, the CBI started the legal process against the MP from Krishnanagar constituency in West Bengal's Nadia district.

Moitra was accused of accepting bribes from Hiranandani in exchange for "compromising parliamentary privileges and posing national security risks by sharing her Lok Sabha login credentials."

Last month, Moitra was re-nominated by the TMC from the same Krishnanagar seat after being expelled in 2023.
