Adarsh scam: HC pulls up CBI on benami flats

The court had on September 2 this year refused to accept a report submitted by CBI and had said the agency has not applied its mind in respect to issues raised in the PIL. It had then directed the agency to submit another report and also ordered CBI Western Region’s Joint Director to remain present in court on Wednesday. While the Joint Director was not present on Wednesday, the agency’s DIG was present and he submitted a second report. The bench after perusing the report said it was not satisfied. “We are not satisfied with this report. It is silent on very specific queries raised by us and the petition on the last hearing,” Justice Oka said. “We had also asked the Joint Director to remain present on Wednesday. We expect him to appear before us on the next date of hearing. We also want the Additional Solicitor General (ASG) to appear in the case next time,” the court directed .
