Supreme Court: Petition of Parambir Singh was not heard, Justice Gavai separated himself from the case


The plea of former Mumbai Police Commissioner Parambir could not be heard in the Supreme Court on Tuesday. Justice BR Gavai of the bench recused himself from the hearing, after which the hearing was deferred.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday was to hear the plea of former Mumbai Police Commissioner Parambir Singh to get his case investigated out of Maharashtra, but Justice BR Gavai distanced himself from the bench. Due to this, the plea of Parambir Singh could not be heard. Now another bench will hear this petition on another day.

In the petition, Parambir Singh has requested to transfer all the investigations against him outside Maharashtra and get an independent agency investigated. The matter came up for hearing before a vacation bench of Justice Vineet Sharan and Justice Gavai. At the commencement of the hearing of the case, Justice Sharan said that the member of the bench (Justice Gavai) had some difficulty in hearing the matter. We want to say that the matter should be referred to another bench. Justice Gavai said that I cannot hear this matter.

Senior advocate Puneet Bali, appearing for Singh, said that the investigation against his client was completely motivated by revenge and violated the orders of the Supreme Court and the Bombay High Court. Singh is a 1988 batch IPS officer and was removed from the post of Mumbai Police Commissioner on 17 March.
