Anil Deshmukh resigned yesterday within hours of the Bombay High Court s order for a probe.
New Delhi:
The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government and its former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh today asked the Supreme Court to cancel a preliminary CBI probe ordered into allegations of corruption against him. The Bombay High Court had on Monday sought the probe based on a criminal writ petition related to charges leveled by former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh. A team of the investigating agency was to reach Mumbai today to initiate the process.
In his petition to the Supreme Court, Mr Deshmukh has argued that the High court could not order such a probe against him without giving him an opportunity to explain. He also based his plea on the fact that the CBI itself was headed by an interim director and the case related to the matter was being in heard in court.
