Why no FIR yet against NCP MLA in assets case, HC asks govt
The Bombay High Court Friday asked the state government why an FIR was not registered against NCP MLA Vijay Kumar Gavit and his family when the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) had earlier said there was prima facie substance in the allegations of disproportionate assets against the minister.
The ACB had, on April 10 this year, informed the court that some substance was found in the allegations of disproportionate assets against the MLA and his family.
Justices A S Oka and A S Chandurkar directed government pleader Sameer Patil to file an affidavit on the issue within two weeks.
The NCP leader, who was medical education minister in the Congress-NCP government, was recently dropped from the Cabinet after his daughter Heena Gavit joined the BJP and fought election from the Nandurbar Lok Sabha constituency.
The ACB’s affidavit was filed in connection to a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Nashik-based activist Vishnu Musale, which sought Gavit’s prosecution. The court was told by the ACB that after conducting a discreet inquiry into the assets of Gavit and his family, it had found material against them and submitted a proposal to the state government on March 5.
