"Should we entertain this because he has been a minister?" the court asked.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court Thursday junked a plea filed by former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh seeking records, including file notings and internal correspondence, of the preliminary enquiry (PE) report in the corruption case, saying "should we entertain this because he has been a minister".
A bench headed by Justice S K Kaul dismissed Deshmukh's plea and said he can argue on this before the competent court and they have the liberty to do so.
"The petition under 32 is based on the premise that the orders passed by the court on the rationale that the PE may have been material against the petition. But as per certain newspaper reports, the petitioner is stated to have been given clean chit in the enquiry.
