Bench assembled.

Hearing begins.

Sr Adv Ashok Mundargi for #Republic submits the written submissions will be submitted by tomorrow.

Chief Public Prosecutor submits that the investigation will be completed within 12 weeks.

#TRPSCAM #MumbaiPolice #BombayHighCourt

Justice Shinde: Then we cannot continue your statement of “no coercive action”.

Because if you will investigate and then you issue summons to the Petitioner 2, and if during the course of investigation you want to take coercive action..

Thakare: Then we will inform the Court.

Justice Shinde: We were also in the dilemma as to how to pass an order when there are not made an accused…

#TRPSCAM #MumbaiPolice #BombayHighCourt

Thakare: Or move the concerned trial court.

Justice Shinde: No we will pass an order.
If during the course of the investigation, you come across something and you want to take coercive action then you will give 72 hours prior notice.

#TRPSCAM #MumbaiPolice #BombayHighCourt

Mundargi: Milords may make it 1 week..

Justice Shinde: No Mr. Mundargi, only 3 days..

Mundargi: Then holidays may be excluded.

#TRPSCAM #MumbaiPolice #BombayHighCourt

Mundargi: What if courts are closed..

Thakare: They cannot dictate like that

#TRPSCAM #MumbaiPolice #BombayHighCourt

Justice Pitale: They (Republic) have also argued the malafides..

Justice Shinde: We are saying three clear days! Notice will have to be given. And you are at liberty to move the Court if you want.

#TRPSCAM #MumbaiPolice #BombayHighCourt

Justice Shinde reads out the detailed draft of the order they have prepared.

Justice Shinde adds that three clear days notice (excluding holidays) have been provided for.

Petition is admitted.

#TRPSCAM #MumbaiPolice #BombayHighCourt

Mundargi: I would have requested to grant protection to the suspects in my company.

Justice Shinde: You have not clarified whom are you arguing for…

#TRPSCAM #MumbaiPolice #BombayHighCourt

Mundargi: I would have argued that the facts in the case presented before you do not point out that Republic is involved. I would asked for a stay in the investigation

#TRPSCAM #MumbaiPolice #BombayHighCourt

Justice Pitale replied that investigation cannot be stayed right now as there is no clarity on who is the accused and who is not.
