The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a petition by ex-Mumbai top cop Param Bir Singh to transfer all cases against him to the CBI. "After having served for more than 30 years, you do not have confidence in Maharashtra Police? It is shocking," the Supreme Court responded sharply to the petition, which was later withdrawn. Singh, a 1988-batch IPS officer, was removed from the post of Mumbai CP in March this year. Singh has been facing inquiries, including the one under the SC & ST(prevention of Atrocities Act) in a case of 2015.
During virtual hearing Mahesh Jethamalani, Param Bir Singh's lawyer told the Supreme Court that Singh was "pressurised by an inquiry officer to withdraw his letter against Anil Deshmukh or more cases would be filed against him". The ex-top cop "can't keep on facing one case after the other just because he is a 'whistleblower' in the matter," the lawyer further said. "It is commonly said, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones at others," said a vacation bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and V Ramasubramanian in response. "If the person of rank of DGP can be pressurised, then there will be nobody who can't be pressurised. Don't make up stories," the court said.
