The Delhi High Court has requested the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to publicly release 14 reports concerning the administration of the city.
A bench consisting of Justices Yashwant Varma and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar has called for an explanation on the non-disclosure of these reports, with the next hearing set for January 24. Petitioner Brij Mohan, a retired civil servant, underscored the importance of voters being informed about the capital's financial health prior to the upcoming assembly elections.
He highlighted that some of these reports criticize the AAP-led government's now-scrapped excise policy. The petition stressed that public awareness of the reports, touching on varied issues like excise and pollution, is imperative for transparent governance in Delhi. The petitioner argues for compelling the authorities, including the Central government and the Lieutenant Governor, to make the reports public, emphasizing the need for such actions preceding elections.
