New Delhi: The centre today informed the Supreme Court that the Central Bureau of Investigation, or CBI has registered a preliminary inquiry in the Staff Selection Commission's (SSC) paper leak case and is investigating the matter.
A bench of Justices RK Agrawal and AM Sapre took note of the centre's submission and disposed of a public Interest Litigation, or PIL seeking a CBI probe into the paper leak case.
The top court on March 12 sought a response from the centre on the plea without issuing the notice.

Aspirants have been protesting since February 27, seeking a CBI investigation into the alleged paper leak.
