The case pertains to alleged irregularities in awarding contracts to build the Maharashtra Sadan (the official state residency of Maharashtra in New Delhi) when Bhujbal was the state public works department minister.

“However, that issue will remain open which can be agitated by the petitioner at the appropriate stage in an appropriate petition,” the Supreme Court said.
