The court passed the directions on a complaint filed by RTI activist Vivek Garg seeking registration of FIR against Dikshit, then PWD Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan, and former CWG OC Chairman Suresh Kalmadi for alleged corruption in CWG-related projects. The complaint was earlier transferred to CBI by Delhi Police. In his complaint, Garg had claimed that “Dikshit, Chauhan, Kalmadi and other top politicians, (then) officials of the Delhi government and the Centre and their nexus of corrupt businessmen connived with each other to cause wrongful loss to the public exchequer and wrongful gain to themselves or persons whom they were interested in.”
