Stake holders ie aggrieved ESM can not approach One Man Judicial commission with the anomalies.
Anomalies have been pointed out to the Government. It would be expected by the ESM that the Government is transparent in submission of the case to the committee. ESM must be taken in to confidence and informed the format of submission of anomalies. Trust deficit is prevailing where ESM feel that the Government may not project the anomalies as demanded by stake holders.
