The Bombay High Court on Thursday, (9th Jan) dismissed a public interest litigation challenging the Maharashtra government’s withdrawal of 12 MLC nominations previously recommended by the Uddhav Thackeray-led government. The court deemed the PIL “misconceived.” The Governor’s prolonged inaction on the nominations had led to the challenge, which ultimately ended with the dismissal.
The Bombay High Court directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to respond to Shiv Sena member Suraj Chavan’s plea challenging his arrest related to a khichdi supply scam. Ordered to appear on November 14, Chavan argues his arrest violated his rights and lacked proper legal justification, claiming speculative accusations without credible evidence.
