MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court has raised pointed questions over the investigation into the Mundhwa land transaction case, including the decision not to book Parth Pawar despite material concerning his stake being placed before the court.
Court scrutinises investigative reasoning
During proceedings, the court examined an investigating officer’s affidavit and questioned the logic used in determining who was named in the criminal case. The observations place the investigation itself under judicial scrutiny.
Court questions are not findings of guilt. Any criminal liability must be established through investigation and the legal process, and all persons concerned retain their rights and defences.
Case carries wider political significance
Because the matter involves a politically prominent name, transparent handling of evidence and consistent investigative standards will be important to public confidence.
