<h1>Investigation into alleged illegal sale deeds and diversion of housing society sale proceeds transferred to Vigilance Department over probe lapses</h1> The Allahabad High Court transferred investigation of alleged illegal sale deeds and diversion of sale proceeds by former office-bearers of a housing co-operative society to the Uttar Pradesh Vigilance Department, citing unsatisfactory and lethargic state probe potentially impacted by the ex-officers' influence. The society, created to benefit SC/ST members with government-allotted land, allegedly issued plots to ineligible persons and siphoned off crores from sale proceeds. The court noted an FIR had been filed but criticized lack of recovery efforts and directed the vigilance director to file a first action taken report by a specified date.
