Former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh also moves SC against HC order directing CBI probe into corruption allegations against him.

The Maharashtra government Tuesday moved the Supreme Court challenging the Bombay High Court order directing the CBI to conduct a preliminary inquiry within 15 days into the allegations of corruption and misconduct levelled by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh against ex-Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. "We have filed an appeal on behalf of state government against the Bombay High Court of yesterday," said Maharashtra standing counsel Sachin Patil.

After the high court order on Monday, Deshmukh, a veteran politician from Vidarbha, resigned from the state government. The high court had said that this was an "extraordinary" and "unprecedented" case which warranted an independent inquiry.
