Fake Lab Tests at Mohalla Clinics: HC rejects plea seeking court-monitored probe
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday dismissed a plea seeking a court-monitored investigation into allegations of fake laboratory tests conducted at mohalla clinics established by the Aam Aadmi Party government.
The application referenced an incident from August last year, revealing unethical practices at certain clinics involving the use of pre-recorded videos to mark attendance.
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora rejected the application filed by social activist Bejon Kumar Misra within the framework of his existing PIL addressing "unauthorised pathological labs and diagnostic centres" in Delhi.

Given that the matter is already under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the court deemed no further order necessary.
The dismissed application had specifically requested a court-monitored inquiry, supervised by a former High Court judge, into claims of fraudulent laboratory tests at mohalla clinics.
