body2024
ORDER SLP(C)No(s). 34696/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner(s), learned additional solicitor general, learned senior counsel/counsel for the respondent no.1, respondent no.11 and respondent nos.4 to 6. 2. In this proceeding, certain contract given by the State of Arunachal Pradesh have been alleged to be faulty by the petitioner(s) mainly on the ground that these were given to near relative(s) of the then the Chief Minister of the State. On behalf of the respondent(s), it has been emphatically argued that these are all wild allegations and such allegations were not found to be approved by the High Court. 3. We do not want to keep the present petition, which has its genesis in a proceeding framed as a public interest litigation, pending. Let the complaint(s) over which the present petition is founded, be examined by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG). This Court would expect an early examination into the allegations, which are made by Mr.Bhushan in the public interest litigation out of which the present proceeding arises. There are several interlocutory applications taken out, in connection with the main public interest litigation, seeking interference of this Court in certain subsequent contracts, which according to Mr.Bhushan suffer from the same set of flaws. But we are apprised by the learned counsel for the parties that an independent writ petition has been filed in relation to such subsequent set of contracts and hence we are not making any comment or observation in relation to these applications. 4. The present petition shall stand disposed of along with pending application(s), if any. W.P.(Crl.) No. 165/2021 In view of the order passed in SLP(C)No(s). 34696/2010 the present petition is also disposed of. Pending application(s), if any, shall, stand disposed of.
