📌 Paras 3-4.6
A civil society organization and a resident filed a public interest writ petition alleging systemic illegality, arbitrariness, nepotism, and favouritism in the award and execution of public works contracts in Arunachal Pradesh. The petitioners claim that contracts were awarded without open tenders, often to firms or individuals connected to high-ranking officials, and that official records are incomplete. They seek an independent investigation by the CBI or a Special Investigation Team (SIT). The petition is linked to an earlier matter where the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) was directed to examine certain allegations, and the CAG's subsequent report is relied upon by both parties.
