Without an FIR there can be no investigation, says Bench
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday reserved its order on the maintainability of a public interest litigation (PIL) petition filed by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into his letter alleging that State Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had directed suspended assistant police inspector Sachin Vaze to collect ₹100 crore a month from bars and restaurants. After hearing the matter for over six hours, a Division Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G.S. Kulkarni reserved its order on the maintainability of the petition filed by Mr. Singh along with two more PIL petitions and two other petitions seeking an investigation into the letter written on March 20 to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.More Related News
