Six months have passed with no progress. Instead, another committee has been appointed. Earlier, a committee headed by a Supreme Court Judge was appointed. No disciplinary action has been taken against the officers concerned; instead, a lower-level committee has been set up. If so, a Supreme Court Judge should chair such a committee. Kindly take a decision, Hon. Speaker. Six months have passed.
