Bombay HC asks CBI to conduct good, proper investigation into Adarsh scam

The Bombay High Court today asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to conduct a “good, honest and proper” investigation into the Adarsh Housing Society Scam and not get “bogged down by certain personalities”. After going through the progress report submitted by CBI, the division bench of Justices Ranjana Desai and R G Ketkar asked the CBI to carry on their investigation in accordance with law and treat everyone equally. This is the second report submitted by CBI, following directions from the High Court last week to look into the allegations made against union ministers – Sushil Kumar Shinde and Vilasrao Deshmukh. The court was hearing the petition filed by social activist Simpreet Singh seeking court's monitoring of the investigations. The petition says that CBI is hesitating to book Shinde and Deshmukh who are the “main accused” in the scam. CBI, in the latest report, has stated that it is probing the allegations.Deshmukh, Union Minister for Rural Development and Shinde, Union Power Minister, were Chief Ministers of Maharashtra when files related to Adarsh building were processed. The court has kept the matter for further hearing tomorrow, as the petitioner's lawyer was not present today.
