New Delhi: The Bombay High Court on Monday (April 5, 2021) directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to begin a preliminary inquiry within 15 days into corruption allegations on Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh by former Mumbai Police Chief Param Bir Singh.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni said this was an extraordinary and unprecedented case that warranted an independent inquiry.
While hearing on Dr Jaishri Patil s plea regarding allegations of the ex-Mumbai top cop, the Bombay High Court said that Anil Deshmukh is the Home Minister and no impartial probe can be done by the police.
