Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the accountability of the State of Maharashtra regarding the Dabhol Power Project Agreement, emphasizing the serious allegations of corruption and mismanagement highlighted by the Godbole Committee's report. The Court noted the failure of governance across various administrations and considered the necessity of a judicial commission of inquiry under the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952. Ultimately, the Court directed that the inquiry should continue to ensure accountability and justice, despite the State's reluctance to proceed with the commission.
