A judicial commission set up to probe corruption allegations against Anil Deshmukh, former Home Minister of Maharashtra, imposed a fine of ₹50,000 on him on Tuesday for seeking an adjournment.

The commission is tasked with inquiry into corruption allegations against Mr. Deshmukh made by former police commissioner of Mumbai, Param Bir Singh. Mr. Deshmukh is currently lodged at Arthur Road Jail in a money laundering case against him.
