Case concerns alleged leakage of information about police postings.
The Bombay High Court on Thursday allowed the Maharashtra government to question senior IPS officer in Hyderabad after the State assured that she would not be arrested till the next date of hearing in the case of alleged leakage of information about police postings. A division bench of Justices S.S. Shinde and Manish Pitale was hearing a petition filed by Ms Shukla saying she apprehends arrest and seeks no coercive action against her by the Cyber Crime Department in the case. The plea says, “The approach of the State is to arm-twist Ms. Shukla by bogus and frivolous case.” Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani for Ms. Shukla told the court that she had been charged under the Information Technology Act and the Officials Secrets Act. The court asked what the maximum sentence of the offences is.
