Giving its judgment in a clutch of PILs filed before it, the Bombay High Court has very correctly directed the CBI to inquire into the accusation by ousted Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh against the state Home Minister that the latter had summoned two junior officials of the Crime Branch and demanded that they collect Rs 10 crore per month from liquor bars and other such operators and deposit the money with him.
The accusation may be true, though figures could be exaggerated. It is not uncommon for Home Ministers in Maharashtra to summon Inspectors and instruct them on ‘official’ matters. All instructions should be channelised through the CP, but no CP has the gall to tell the minister that he should not break the chain of command. Param Bir himself, when he was a middle-ranking officer, used to visit the office of the ACS (Home) and remain closeted there for lengths of time.
