Kumbhkoni had given his resignation in June after the fall of the MahaVikas Aghadi government but the Shinde Fadnavis government had decided to keep it in abeyance till December.
A candidate disqualified to contest polls won the Maharashtra panchayat election last year. She took advantage of a typographical error in the disqualification order. Now, the Bombay High Court has found her guilty of fraud.
The Bombay High Court asked the petitioner, Asiya Begum, to suggest names of lawyers for the appointment of a special public prosecutor (SPP) for the custodial death trial of her son Khwaja Yunus in 2003.
The trial in the custodial death case has been at a standstill since April 16, 2018, after the state government removed Dhiraj Mirajkar as SPP. Mirajkar was appointed SPP in the case on September 7, 2015.
The Maharashtra government has informed the Bombay High Court on Friday that special public prosecutor Dhiraj Mirajkar himself had expressed that he did not wish to continue as SPP in the custodial death of Khwaja Yunus, an alleged bomb blast accused of 2002 in a BEST bus in Ghatkopar.
