We don't have a problem admitting our mistake, says bench comprising Justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian PTI | February 8, 2021 | Updated 22:44 IST Representational Image The Supreme Court Monday said it made a "mistake" by agreeing to examine pleas for probe by multiple agencies in the "franchise racket" in which a number of people were allegedly cheated of an estimated Rs 30 crore. A bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde, which on November 2 last year had issued notice to the Centre and its agencies on three separate pleas against 'Westland Trade Private Limited', asked the petitioners to approach the jurisdictional high court with their pleas.
