Karnataka CM Yeddyurappa gets relief from Supreme Court;
Bombay High Court directs CBI to conduct preliminary inquiry into corruption allegations against Maharashtra Home Minster Anil Deshmukh
On March 15, Vaze was sent to NIA custody for his alleged role in placing an explosives-laden vehicle outside the residence of Mukesh Ambani last month.
A division bench of Justice Manish Pitale and S.S Shinde said, “When there is matrimonial discord and acrimony between husband and wife, there is a tendency to vent out anger against the husband by roping in as many relatives of the husband as possible.”
On the plea of former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh, the Bombay High Court asked why did not Parambir Singh file an FIR, how can the transfer petition be PIL, the court asked for the station diary.
Contemplating whether Singh’s plea against Deshmukh is maintainable or not, the court said that it will address the matter on two aspects - is the PIL maintainable and can the court direct investigation without an FIR.
Apart from the inquiry, Singh sought the quashing of the order transferring him from the post of Mumbai Commissioner of Police alleging it to be arbitrary and illegal.
The Supreme Court on Friday reserved the Judgement on a bail plea of human rights activist Gautam Navlakha challenging the Bombay High Court’s order rejecting his bail application in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist link case.
