SC Refuses To Interfere In Anil Deshmukh’s Bail Order Of Bombay High Court

SC Supreme Court Dalit

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to interfere with the Bombay High Court order granting bail to former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in a case registered by CBI

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to interfere with the Bombay High Court order granting bail to former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in a case registered by CBI.

A bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices V Ramasubramanian and JB Pardiwala declined the plea of CBI filed against the High Court order which had granted bail to Deshmukh. The apex court while dismissing the plea of CBI took into note that Deshmukh was already granted bail in the PMLA case and the top court had also upheld that order.

The Central Bureau of Investigation approached the Supreme Court seeking a stay of the Bombay High Court’s December 12 order granting bail to Deshmukh in a corruption case where he is accused of extorting money from bar owners and restaurants.

The agency claimed in its appeal that the former Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader continues to hold high-level political connections and his mere release will dent the confidence of witnesses and jeopardise the trial.
Deshmukh was accused of running an extortion racket within the police force while he was the state home minister and allegedly extorted money from restaurants and bar owners.

These allegations formed part of a letter written by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh who ‘spilled the beans’ over the illegal activities of Deshmukh.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Monday said he had conveyed his desire to be discharged of his duties to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In a series of tweets, Governor Koshyari expressed his desire to quit as the constitutional head of the state. “During the recent visit of the Prime Minister to Mumbai, I have conveyed to him my desire to be discharged of all political responsibilities and to spend the remainder of my life in reading, writing and other activities.

“It was an absolute honour and privilege for me to serve as the Rajya Sevak or Rajyapal of a great State like Maharashtra – the land of Saints, Social reformers and valiant fighters. I can never forget the love and affection I have received from the people of Maharashtra during the last little more than three years,” Raj Bhavan said.
Earlier this month, Koshyari at an event said he has been unhappy after becoming the Governor and feels that he is not in the right place.

He said that he feels happy and in the right place only when ‘Sannyasis’ come to the Raj Bhavan.
Koshyari was appointed the Governor of Maharashtra in September 2019.

In November last year, he courted controversy after calling Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj an “old icon” while addressing a function at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University in Aurangabad.
An outrage sparked following his remarks on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a revered figure in Maharashtra.
