A Division Bench of Justices S.S. Shinde and N.J. Jamadar was listening to a petition filed by the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department in search of deletion of two unnumbered paragraphs within the FIR. The paragraphs point out the reinstatement of the suspended assistant police inspector Sachin Vaze and the switch of another cops.
