Supreme Court posts the matter for hearing on February 22
It is a “very disturbing” scenario in Maharashtra where former Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh does not have faith in his own force and the State Government has no faith in the CBI, the Supreme Court said on January 11.
A Bench comprising Justices S.K. Kaul and M.M. Sundresh made this observation after the counsel for the former police chief submitted that the State police was trying to corner him in departmental cases.
The top court, which refused to extend protection from arrest to Mr. Singh, said, “This is the same police which you headed for so much of time. What do we say that head of police force doesn’t have any trust in the police force, State Government has no faith in the CBI. Look at the scenario which is being painted. It is a very disturbing scenario for us. We can’t resolve it peacefully.”
