Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, while exercising its jurisdiction under Article 136, addressed the refusal of the Delhi High Court to entertain a writ petition for a court-monitored investigation into the 2G Spectrum Scam involving former Union Minister A. Raja and others. The Court emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in public office, particularly in light of the performance audit reports by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, and the need for a thorough investigation by the CBI or a Special Investigating Team. The Court held that the matter warranted further examination and investigation, thereby allowing the appeal.
