SC Demands Report Of Rs 2000 Crore Arms Purchased During Kargil War 1/6/2009 The Supreme Court directed the CBI to submit its status report within four weeks in connection with the alleged bungling in the purchase of over Rs 2000 crore arms and other necessary equipment for the Army during the Kargil war. A bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice P Sathasivam issued the directions when D K Garg, counsel for the petitioner, submitted before the court that CBI was deliberately dragging its feet and during last seven years no progress has been made in the investigation.
