Mumbai, Jun 10 : The Bombay High Court has issued bailable warrants against gangster Dawood Ibrahim's brother Iqbal Kaskar and five others who were acquitted in the Sara-Sahara illegal construction case.
While hearing a petition filed by the state government against the acquittals and a plea filed by journalist Ketan Tirodkar seeking prosecution of (the then) deputy chief minister Chagan Bhujbal for allegedly shielding a suspect, division bench of Chief Justice Swatanter Kumar and Justice S C Dhrmadhikari noted none of those who were acquitted were present in the court despite summons.
The court then issued bailable warrants and adjourned the hearing for six weeks.
Meanwhile, in an affidavit, the Home Department has said that investigating officer in the case gave no reasons as to why Rajendra Wale, a municipal officer, was not arrested.
Tirodkar has moved the court seeking prosecution of Bhujbal for allegedly shielding Wale.
Some municipal officers and a few members of Dawood gang were prosecuted for illegal construction of Sara-Sahara shopping mall on government land in south Mumbai.
