The bench has directed the senior NCP leader Nawab Malik to file an affidavit explaining why the court must not take any adverse action against him for the breach of undertaking.
The Bombay High Court on Tuesday said that it seems that Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik has "wilfully breached" his undertaking given to the high court last month on not making any public statements against Narcotics Control Bureau's Mumbai unit chief Sameer Wankhede and his family members.
A bench of Justices SJ Kathawalla and Milind Jadhav directed the senior NCP leader to file an affidavit explaining why the court must not take any adverse action against him for the breach of undertaking.
The bench was hearing an application filed by Sameer Wankhede's father Dnyandev Wankhede alleging that despite assuring the high court last month that he will not make any public statements against the Wankhedes, Mr Malik continued to make such defamatory statements.
He had approached the high court on Monday through senior counsel Birendra Saraf, seeking an urgent hearing.
