The consolidated status report was placed in a sealed cover before the apex court. A Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan allowed senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, who is assisting the court as amicus curiae in the matter, to respond to the report in two weeks.
Dwivedi said a copy of the report was received by him yesterday and he would need time to go through it to respond. The court adjourned the matter for four weeks. CBI was asked by the court on August 24 file a consolidated report about the investigations into the various cases.
Dwivedi said the Centre, which was also asked to give details about the departmental action taken by the Ministry of Defence against officials involved in alleged irregularities in the deals, have not complied with the order.
