The AG said the second compilation is regarding the FIRs registered with the Anti-corruption Bureau, wherein sanctions are pending with the General Administration Department (GAD) while third compilation is regarding the regular departmental actions taken in 2020 and 2021.The last compilation, the AG said, is regarding the advisories and alert notes issued by the GAD to the officers of the various departments.The AG submitted before the court that the message is very loud from the Government that there shall be no delay in grant of prosecution sanctions in corruption cases and that no tainted person shall be assigned the sensitive positions.“We appreciate the efforts put in by the office of the Advocate General in collecting and compiling all the above information within the short span of time and to place it before the court,” the DB said.In response to his submission, the Court granted advocate S. S.
