Similarly C.B.I., the premier investigating agency, deemed it appropriate to file the compliance report only yesterday! A copy be supplied. We grant last opportunity to the other States to file compliance reports within three weeks of order dated 03.02.2023 and if not filed let the Home Secretaries of all these States remain personally present in Court. The aforesaid chart also points out that some States have not issued standing orders namely, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh and UT of Puducherry. Learned counsels for State of Himachal Pradesh and High Court of State of Himachal Pradesh submit that affidavits have been filed yesterday but standing orders have not been issued and the same will be issued shortly. Thus, States are also granted three weeks time to issue standing orders, failing which their Home Secretaries shall personally remain present in court. List on 02.05.2023.
