Delhi govt dragged feet on placing CAG reports in Assembly, says HC

The Delhi High Court on Monday, January 13, said the state government dragged its feet on the issue of tabling several CAG reports before the Assembly, raising “doubts on its bonafides”.

Justice Sachin Datta, who was hearing a petition by the BJP MLAs, said the government should have promptly placed the CAG reports



before the house for discussion.

“The way you dragged your feet raises doubts about your bonafides. You should have promptly forwarded the reports to the speaker,” Justice Datta said, “and had a discussion in the house. The timeline is stark. See the way you have been dragging your feet is something that is unfortunate.”
