New twist in firing case against Rane's son; bizman intervenes

July 10, 2014 20:49

In a new twist to the case filed against Nitesh Rane, son of Maharashtra Industries Minister Narayan Rane, for opening fire at his NGO member Chintu Shaikh, a city businessman today intervened in the Bombay High Court alleging that the investigations were not done properly.

A bench of Justice V M Kanade and P D Kode asked the businessman, Goldie Sud, to file an application within two weeks in support of his claim that he could throw light on the firing incident which occurred in 2010.

Senior Counsel, Mahesh Jethmalani, appearing for Rane opposed the intervention saying the businessman had nothing to do with the matter and his plea should not be entertained.

However, the court said it would first hear the intervenor before deciding on his plea. Accordingly, the bench gave him two weeks time to file an application and adjourned the matter to July 24.

The court was hearing a petition filed by Rane seeking to quash a case of attempt to murder filed by CBI against him.

The agency had in March this year filed a closure report in this case before a Magistrate saying that during the probe they had not found allegations of firing to be correct.
