Swaraj Abhiyan vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court addressed Writ Petitions Nos. 720, 753, and 973 of 2016 concerning the procurement of a helicopter by the State of Chhattisgarh, alleging irregularities and potential corruption involving the Chief Minister's son. The Court held that the objections raised regarding the political nature of the petitions did not bar its jurisdiction, allowing the matter to be considered on merits. The Court emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations of financial misconduct and loss to the public exchequer, particularly under the principles of public interest litigation.
