HC to hear Param Bir Singh's PIL against Minister Anil Deshmukh tomorrow

Mumbai, Mar 30 (UNI) The Bombay high court will hear on Wednesday the PIL filed by former
Mumbai police chief Param Bir Singh seeking a CBI probe against Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, who he claimed asked suspended assistant police inspector Sachin Vaze to collect Rs 100 crore from bars and restaurants.
Mr Singh filed the criminal public interest litigation (PIL) in the HC on March 25, which will be heard tomorrow.
The PIL has raised the issue of alleged corruption in police transfers and postings in the state.
Mr Singh had initially approached the Supreme Court alleging he was transferred from the post of commissioner of Mumbai Police on March 17 and shunted to the Home Guards department after he complained to state Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and other senior leaders about the "corrupt malpractices" of Mr Deshmukh.
The apex court had termed the matter as quite serious, but asked Mr Singh to approach the high court.
