BREAKING - #BombayHighCourt dismisses with cost of Rs. 25k a PIL seeking a CBI and ED investigation into the alleged "disproportionate" wealth of Maharashtra's ex-CM #UddhavThackeray and his family.

"We hold this petition is an abuse of the process of the law" -HC

@OfficeofUT
A division bench of Justices Dhiraj Thakur and Valmiki Menezes dismissed PIL by Dadar residents Gouri Bhide (38) and Abhay Bhide (78).
Order

The petition is bereft of any evidence, much less evidence which would give a basis to this court to come to a conclusion that a prima facie case was made out for the CBI or any other agency.
Order

On a reading of the complaint it is clear that the petitioners are only speculating of the sudden rise and prosperity index of the private respondents from their humble beginning...

#UddhavThackeray
Order

...and therefore entertain a suspicion that the lifestyle of the private respondent could only be attributed to the corrupt practices of the BMC.
Order

In any case there is absolutely no evidence or live link between the alleged malpractices in the BMC and the private respondents (Uddhav Thackeray) and family.

#UddhavThackeray
Order

The petitioners are thus seeking a roving probe monitored by this court based on nothing but bald allegations. This is therefore not a case warranting exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226.

Delhi Riots: After Acquittal In Two FIRs, Court Convicts Accused Men On Basis Of Evidence Of Cop Who Earlier Cited Memory Loss @nupur_0111 #DelhiCourt #DelhiRiots livelaw.in/news-updates/d…
In all three cases, the prosecution presented two policemen, Head Constable Hari Babu and Constable Vipin Kumar as primary witnesses for identification of the accused.

#DelhiCourt #DelhiRiots
In both FIRs resulting in acquittal, HC Hari Babu failed to identify the accused before court taking the plea of lapse of time & memory loss. The court then acquitted all of them observing that sole testimony of constable cannot be sufficient to assume their presence in the mob.
