On April 5, one other Bench had directed the CBI to conduct a preliminary inquiry into the letter written by former Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh making allegations in opposition to Mr. Deshmukh. Soon thereafter on April 21, the FIR was registered in opposition to Mr. Deshmukh beneath Sections 120 B (felony conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 7 (public servant taking gratification aside from authorized remuneration in respect of an official Act) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The case can be heard by a Division Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and justice G.S. Kulkarni on June 8.
The petition states, “The subject of transfer and posting of officials cannot form a part of the investigation in the FIR. The transfer of officials and reinstatement of Mr. Vaze are aspects which would fall within the administrative domain of the State and its officers and as such the FIR would not prima facie disclose any criminality.”
