<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday summoned Arunachal Pradesh chief secretary and principal secretary (home) over what it termed the state government\u2019s \u201cnon-cooperation\u201d in a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe<\/a> involving family members of chief minister Pema Khandu.After perusing the CBI\u2019s status report in the case, a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta directed both officers to appear before it on August 24 along with their responses to the report and explain the alleged non-cooperation.\u201cWe have perused the status report given by the CBI dated July 17. A perusal of the same reflects that there is non-cooperation on the part of the state government in providing the necessary records,\u201d the bench said, according to PTI.The observation came after Additional Solicitor General (ASG) KM Nataraj, appearing for the CBI, informed the Supreme Court that the probe agency had sought more time to complete the enquiry and that Arunachal Pradesh authorities were not cooperating with the investigation.\u201cWe will call the chief secretary,\u201d the bench observed, while questioning the CBI on why it had given a \u201clong rope\u201d despite the alleged non-cooperation.\u201cWhy do you need anything more for registering an RC (regular case)?\u201d the judges asked ASG Nataraj.\u201cBoth the aforesaid officers shall remain present before this court along with their responses to the CBI\u2019s report and also explain why there is non-cooperation and non-compliance with the order of this court,\u201d the bench stated, while posting the matter for hearing on August 24.<\/p>\n Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
