SC dismisses Maharashtra govt plea against CBI probe into transfer, posting of police by Anil Deshmukh
The Hindu
The SC said that an impression is being created that the state is trying to protect the former home minister by not allowing the probe on the aspect of transfer and posting of police officers
The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea of the Maharashtra government seeking to set aside two paragraphs related to transfer and posting of police officers, reinstatement of an officer from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)’s FIR against former state home minister Anil Deshmukh. A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and M R Shah said it is inclined to interfere with the July 22 order of the Bombay High Court and dismissed the petition. The top court said it cannot dilute the direction of a constitutional court ordering a CBI probe by drawing a line for the agency on which aspect the investigation should be done. “CBI has to investigate all aspects of the allegations and we cannot limit them. This will be like denuding the powers of a constitutional court,” the bench said.
