The petitioner Amguri Naba Nirman Samity had approached Gauhati High Court earlier in a PIL where certain allegations had been made against the officers for misuse of funds of four Universities, namely, Tezpur University; Assam Agricultural University; Gauhati University and Dibrugarh University.
The Gauhati High Court disposed of a Public Interest Litigation seeking a high-level investigation into the corruption in Guwahati Municipal Corporation, Guwahati Metro Development Authority and Amguri Municipal Board of Sivasagar District.
The PIL has been filed in Gauhati High Court by a social worker, Tarak Takhe. It has been pleaded that the land acquired is in connection with a power project and illegality has been done to benefit private respondents.
