The Supreme Court’s verdict came in response to a PIL filed by NGOs Voluntary Arunachal Sena and Save Mon Region Federation. The petitioners have alleged corruption, nepotism and dispensing of open tenders. In its judgment, the Supreme Court said the inquiry should be conducted fairly into whether the allegations are substantiated and not to prejudice anyone.
