SC Refuses To Hear Param Bir Singh’s Plea Against Deshmukh, Asks Him To Go To HC

Mumbai: The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain the plea by former Mumbai Police chief Param Bir Singh seeking CBI investigation into the alleged corrupt malpractices of Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and asked him to approach the Bombay High Court, PTI reported.

Singh’s petition demanded a CBI inquiry against Deshmukh for running a ‘wealth collection scheme’ through the police department. It also demanded that his transfer to a low-key post in Maharashtra Police’s Home Guards stay.

Singh was reprimanded in connection with the investigation into the Ambani bombings and the arrest of police officer Sachin Waze.

He claimed that he was immediately transferred to the post after the state Home Minister accused him of corruption in front of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and some other senior leaders.

A two-judge bench, comprising Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and R Subhash Reddy, passed the judgment.
