Jammu, October 22: A division bench of Justices Rajesh Bindal and Sanjay Dhar while hearing a PIL has asked the Anti-Corruption Bureau to inform it if the Agency was facing difficulty to investigate the FIRs so that alternative means could be explored to ensure that the cases were brought to the logical end at the earliest
Pulling up the GAD for not furnishing information it had sought, the court said though the department is said to be the custodian of entire record, it may be uncomfortable for it to furnish information as many of the officers involved in the cases under Prevention of corruption Act may be enjoying plum postings even now.
The Court directed the GAD to furnish the information by November 11 saying in case of failure Secretary GAD will remain present in person in Court through Video conference.
With regard to the FIR of 2011 , the court said the matter has been put under the carpet apparently for the reason that high officials are involved.
