Today, On 17th March, The Supreme Court sought a response from the Centre on a PIL challenging the current process of appointing the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG). The petition also requests that the CAG be appointed by the President in consultation with an independent and neutral selection committee. The PIL argues that the current appointment process lacks transparency and independence.
The Delhi High Court will consider whether Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports can be disclosed publicly before being presented in the Assembly. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has called for a special Assembly session to table these reports ahead of the upcoming Delhi elections. The matter holds significance as it could influence public opinion during the election period. The court’s decision is awaited on this crucial issue.
