HC refuses to stay MHA notification on ACB powers

June 10, 2015 14:26

The Delhi High Court today refused to stay two notifications of the Centre which had taken away the power of the city government's Anti-Corruption Branch to prosecute officials of the union government, saying a vacation court cannot grant the relief sought by a fresh PIL.

A bench of justices S Muralidhar and I S Mehta said as the issue was already before a regular bench, it being a vacation court will not pass any orders at this stage and tagged the PIL with another petition filed by a law student, who has also challenged the notifications.

"A vacation court can't grant stay. Let the regular division bench hear it. It is seized of the matter in another PIL," the bench said. Both petitions are now likely to be heard by the high court on August 5.
