Summary:
The Bombay High Court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation to file a charge sheet in a forced eviction case of 2017, where a building firm had alleged police connivance with a businessman in forcefully evicting his firm from land in Dahisar. A bench of justices Ranjit More and Bharati Dangre directed the agency to file its investigation report in four weeks time in the magistrate court and a copy of it before itself. Advocate Sandesh Bhat, who appeared for the CBI said that the first report, which was filed by the police before the CBI took over the case, was not accepted by the court as it was found to be filed hurriedly. The director of the housing firm was charged with theft, dacoity, and trespass. It was on the recommendations of this report that the investigation of the case was transferred to the CBI on December 2018..
