The government will challenge the high court s order in the Supreme Court, he said.
On March 25, Singh filed a criminal public interest litigation seeking a CBI probe against Deshmukh who, he claimed, had asked police officers, including suspended cop Sachin Waze, to extort Rs 100 crore from bars and restaurants.
Deshmukh has denied any wrongdoing.
Walse Patil said he has accepted the responsibility of the key ministerial post at a difficult and challenging time, and will ensure a clean police administration with no political interference from his side. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the police force is active on the field. Their job is to maintain law and order and also enforce the COVID-19 curbs, he said.
