State responds to agency charge of non-cooperation.
The Maharashtra government on August 17 told the Bombay High Court that the by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to the former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh are not relevant in the case. The State submitted an affidavit to a division bench of Justices S.S. Shinde and N.J. Jamadar in an application filed by the central agency alleging that the State is not co-operating in the investigation against Mr. Deshmukh after corruption charges were levied against him. The affidavit mentioned, “the CBI didn’t have unfettered authority to probe police transfers that have no nexus to Mr. Deshmukh. Applicant (CBI) is demanding documents and/or information which are not at all relevant in terms of relevancy to the case it is probing,” the affidavit said.More Related News
