Mumbai: In a setback for Maharashtra’s former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, the Bombay High Court on Wednesday turned down a CBI plea to drop his name as an accused in the Adarsh scam, paving the way for his trial.
The HC, however, stayed the execution of its order for four weeks to enable the investigating agency to file an appeal.
“I am inclined to reject the petition and dismiss it,” Justice M.L. Tahilyani said.
After the court delivered the order, CBI counsel Hiten Venegaonkar prayed for a stay so that the agency could appeal against it, which was granted.
