Earlier, a plea was also filed by Shantanu Kumar that demanded to look thoroughly into the case of SSC CGL Paper Leak 2017 case and charge sheets filed by CBI. The plea also sought to look after the bail orders that were passed by a trail court in the context of SSC CGL Question paper 2017 leak case. The plea filed by Kumar said, "seeking interim directions to stay the entire process of CGLE-2017, and for issuance of directions for staying the issuance of joining letters/appointment letters to the selected candidates until the submission of the report".

The plea was sought to restrict the Staff Selection Commission for conducting any further Combined Graduate Level Exam until a concrete report on the SSC CGL 2017 Paper Leak case is presented.
