Replying to a calling attention motion moved by Bamang Felix (NCP), Gamlin informed that the Sessions Court at North Lakhimpur in Assam was dealing with the case as the separation of judiciary from executive was yet to take place in Arunachal Pradesh.
While denying the allegations leveled by some community based organisations against the government in connection with the arrest of former chief minister Gegong Apang on August 24, Gamlin informed the House that the government had no role in the arrest.
Gamlin further said the SIC investigating into the PDS scam was to report directly to the High Court and not to any state agencies.
Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu informed the House during Question Hour today that the SIC was constituted by the government in 2005 to investigate into the PDS scam.
So far 31 cases were registered, out of which 14 cases were under various stages of investigation while reports on nine others had already been submitted by the SIC, he informed the Assembly.
Replying to a question raised by Tani Loffa (TMC) on the number of corruption cases registered and number of accused with the SIC, Mr Khandu said the SIC constituted by Gauhati High Court had to report directly to the court and not to any state agency as per the court order in 2007.
