The Bombay High Court on Tuesday said its division bench (comprising two judges), instead of a single-judge bench, would hear the petition filed by Maharashtra's former home minister Anil Deshmukh against the summons issued to him by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case. A single bench of Justice SK Shinde said the objection raised by the High Court registry department that the issues raised in the plea ought to be heard by a division bench is "correct".
