#BombayHighCourt issues notice in plea filed by Hansa Research Group challenging the harassment by the Crime Branch, Mumbai Police.

The Court asks Sr. Adv. Devdutt Kamat appearing for the Mumbai Police Commissioner to give their stand on this.

@MumbaiPolice
@CPMumbaiPolice
Sr. Adv. CS Vaidyanathan submits that it doesn’t make sense to call the employees everyday for interrogation.

Whatever documents they want, Hansa is ready to provide, he submitted.

Kamat: Milords, this petition is unfair to the Court. Kindly see the petition.
Court: Kamat, we will hear the petition. But in the interregnum, you can not call them everyday. They are complainants not the accused.

Kamat: The case papers of investigation were before Milords, so Milords. Knows that there is evidence against them
