The Maharashtra government has delegated powers of a civil court to Justice Chandiwal committee, set up to conduct a probe into the corruption allegations levelled by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh against ex-State home minister Anil Deshmukh.
The one-member committee comprising the High Court’s retired judge Kailash Uttamchand Chandiwal was set up on March 30 to conduct a judicial inquiry into Mr. Singh’s allegations made in a letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on March 20. Mr. Singh wrote the letter after he was shunted from the post of the Mumbai police commissioner and appointed as the DG, State Home Guards.
