"The committee has completed its work," ISRO said in a reply to an RTI query filed by PTI, adding that investigations were being carried out on the basis of the committee's report.
The HLT was formed following the findings of a two-member high powered review committee (HPRC), constituted by the PMO on February 10, 2011, to review the technical, commercial, procedural and financial aspects of the S-Band deal.
