An application has been filed in the Bombay High Court by a former journalist questioning the order of the Maharashtra Governor refusing sanction to prosecute former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan in the Adarsh Housing Society Scam.

Ketan Tirodkar, in his application while relying on a Supreme Court order, has said that the CBI does not require sanction from the governor to prosecute government servants in cases which are being monitored by the judiciary.

"The Supreme Court ruled that there is no requirement of sanction for the CBI under section 6-A of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act to prosecute government servants in cases that are being monitored by the judiciary," the application said.
