SC starts hearing a plea filed by the Maharashtra govt and former state Home Minister, Anil Deshmukh, against Bombay High Court's April 5 order of preliminary inquiry against him by the CBI into corruption allegations made by ex Mumbai police commissioner, Param Bir Singh.
Allegations are serious, the Home Minister & Police Commissioner are involved. They're closely working together till they fall apart,both holding a particular position. Should CBI not probe? Nature of allegations&persons involved require independent probe, says SC Justice SK Kaul
Kapil Sibal representing former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh says there can be no preliminary inquiry without hearing Deshmukh. SIt’s only an inquiry on the basis of something akin to a press conference. It’s hearsay, adds Sibal.
It was not your (Anil Deshmukh) enemy, who made the allegations against you but it was done by the one who was almost your right-hand man (Param Bir Singh), Supreme Court Justice Kaul observed.

"The probe should be done against both," Justice Kaul observed.
SC says high officials of Maharashtra are involved in the matter.

Kapil Sibal representing Anil Deshmukh says before SC that the law must be uniform for everyone. It can’t be that just because the Police Commissioner has said something, his words become evidence, he added.
