ORDER : 1. In the 6th Status Report filed by the CBI on 29th June, 2018, it was mentioned that field investigations are completed in respect of four cases and final reports were required to be filed. 2. On 5th July, 2018 we had observed, inter alia, as follows:- It has been agreed by learned counsel for the parties that since investigations are complete in four of the FIRs and the final report is under preparation and is presently being examined in accordance with the CBI Manual at some levels in the CBI, the final report should be prepared by the CBI and filed before the appropriate Court on or before 27th July, 2018. 3. The learned ASG says that he had not agreed that the final report would be prepared by the CBI and filed before the appropriate Court on or before 27th July, 2018. We do not propose to go into this. 4. We are told today that the final report has still yet not been filed in any of these cases and in fact approval was granted in respect of one of them on 24th July, 2018 and in respect of the other approval was granted on 26th July, 2018. The remaining two cases are still pending for approval. 5. We have also been told by Mr. Sharad Aggarwal, In charge of SIT that field investigations have been completed in three more cases. They are at different stages of scrutiny / approval. 6. In our opinion, the investigations are taking an unduly long time and we are not satisfied with the progress made by the CBI so far. 7. In view of the above, we would like to know from the Director of the CBI what steps must be taken to ensure that the investigations are completed early and final reports are filed as expeditiously as possible. We would like a time-line to be laid down by the Director of the CBI. 8. For this purpose, we require the personal appearance of Director of the CBI on 30.07.2018 at 2.00 pm.
