Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Thursday rejected a petition, filed by former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh, seeking direction from the court to quash CBI’s FIR against him for the probe into the charges of corruption.

Dismissing the plea of Deshmukh and the Maharashtra government, a division bench of Justices S S Shinde and N J Jamdar said that ‘it deserved to be dismissed’.

The CBI had lodged the FIR against Deshmukh and other unknown persons on April 24, following a high court order for a preliminary enquiry on April 5.

Deshmukh's lawyer, Amit Desai also sought time for a stay on the verdict and to appeal against it, which was refused by the court. (UNI)
