Former Mumbai Police Commissioner had sought to quash preliminary inquiries against him by the Maharashtra government
The Bombay High Court on Thursday held that former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh’s petition seeking to quash preliminary inquiries against him by the Maharashtra government is non-maintainable.
A Division Bench of Justices S.S. Shinde and N.J. Jamadar dismissed Mr. Singh’s petition and said “it is service matter”, and that the reliefs sought by Mr. Singh can be adjudicated by the Central Administrative Tribunal.
The court said, “[When] the petitioner [Mr. Singh] approaches the appropriate forum, then the same shall be heard and decided without any prejudice to the HC’s order.”
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
