Who decides the procedure, government or the SC ? Who decides the price, Government or the SC ? On both the counts if the Government has not done a satisfactory job the voter will throw out the government. Appreciating that on both the aspects the SC seems to have made it clear that it will not interfere unless there is prima facie evidence of corruption or financial wrongdoing.
The two great ex ministers with an equally great lawyer and a renowned journalist with his sidekicks,despite their stellar track record of earlier exposes failed to present basic acceptable evidence of corruption, even to start an investigation.

Similarly the PRICE OBVIOUSLY HAD TO BE THE BEST IN ABSENCE OF ANY FINANCIAL WRONGDOING.
People with great experience both in running governments and private businesses, did appreciate that pushing forward the procedure and price was bound to fail so they tried to connect the off-set to make it look like the corruption. They hoped that their past records of fighting corruption could help them. The reason for doing it is best known to them unless it was de-mo or denial of cabinet berths.
