Supreme Court Reserves Verdict on Plea Alleging ₹1270 Crore Contracts Awarded to Arunachal CM’s Relatives

The Supreme Court reserved judgment on a writ petition alleging that government contracts worth ₹1270 crores were awarded to relatives of the Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister.

The petitioner sought a court-monitored probe, claiming the contracts were granted in violation of transparency and fairness in public procurement.

The State opposed the plea, arguing that the contracts followed due process and that the allegations were unfounded.

After hearing arguments on the maintainability of the petition and the scope of judicial review in contractual matters, the Court reserved its verdict on whether an independent investigation is warranted.
