As per the Court’s assessment, the Delhi government and the relevant departments including the Directorate were well-aware of the concerns raised in the CAG Report.
“The assertions in the affidavit indicate that that they have either already taken or are currently taking appropriate measures to address concern,” the Court noted.
The Court further noted that in response to the report, the Delhi government had made alterations to procurement policies. It also noted that the government was addressing the need of conducting market surveys to detect illegal drugs, ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations and the deployment of drug inspectors in these processes.
Accordingly, the Court noted that since constructive steps were underway, a court-monitored investigation was not necessary.
