										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Centre has recommended a CBI probe in the purchase of 1,000 air-conditioned low floor buses by the Delhi government, a matter which has been a bone of contention between ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the state unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with the latter levelling corruption allegations in the procurement.</p>
<p>People familiar with the development said on Thursday the ministry of home affairs (MHA), after examining the report submitted by Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal-appointed three-member panel, which it says recommended a “detailed enquiry”, has asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to register a preliminary enquiry (PE) in the matter.</p>
<p>A PE is the precursor to a First Information Report (FIR), during which agency carries out investigations to ascertain whether a cognizable offence is made out or not.</p>
<p>The Delhi government termed the move as “harassment” by the Centre.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is absolutely no truth to these allegations. A committee was already set up to investigate the matter thoroughly, which gave a clean chit. It is a politically motivated conspiracy against AAP. The BJP wants to prevent the people of Delhi from getting new buses,” the Delhi government said in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the past as well, the Centre has tried to harass the Delhi government using the CBI, but not even once has their attempt been successful because there has never been any truth to any of their allegations. The Delhi government does not believe in the politics of slander, it only believes in good governance and is committed to delivering upon its promise of good governance,” it added.</p>
<p>Incidentally, as reported by HT in the second week of July, the L-G-appointed panel gave a clean chit to the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) in the tendering and procurement of the buses; except finding some “procedural lapses” arising out of “a bona fide decision making”.</p>
<p>&#8220;The tendering process of purchase of buses warrants no interference and suffers from no major infirmity&#8230; The committee, prima facie, did not come across any material to impute criminal misconduct attributable to any public official,” the report said.</p>
<p>There were only procedural lapses apparently arising out of a bona fide decision-making process. However, a greater effort for understanding the market and a higher degree of due diligence in assessing reasonableness of bids was required compared to what seems to have been demonstrated,” it added.</p>
<p>The DTC, which comes under the Delhi government, in March last year, floated a tender for procurement of 1,000 CNG low-floor buses and issued another tender for allotting the annual maintenance contract (AMC) for these buses four months later.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">New Delhi: The allegation of former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh (former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh) accruing Rs 100 crore every month has been termed as serious by the Supreme Court.  On Thursday, the Bombay High Court ordered the CBI inquiry, what is wrong in it, should such cases not be investigated by an independent investigating agency.  The court refused to restrain or interfere in the investigation, saying that the CBI probe against Anil Deshmukh would continue. Earlier, during the hearing in the Supreme Court, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing on behalf of Deshmukh and the Maharashtra government,  Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi also strongly advocated.  Sibal argued that an inquiry was ordered based on oral allegations.  Where is the evidence in this case.<br> The case was heard in front of the bench of Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice Hemant Gupta.  The Supreme Court said, we are not willing to interfere in this matter.  The court said that this is a matter of public trust. The investigation of the incidents by independent agency is necessary.  The Supreme Court made it clear that there are big figures involved in the allegations and the nature of the allegations is serious.  Therefore, an independent inquiry is necessary and both the petitions are dismissed.</p>
