CORAM : S.B. SHUKRE, J. DATED : 25-04-2017
Perused the affidavit dated 12-04-2016, which has been filed in response to the directions given by this Court in the order passed on 27-01-2016. The directions are as follows :
“Therefore, this Court expects the Director General of Police, MS, Mumbai and rather requests him to take up such cases and find out the veracity of such a claim made in newspapers, and if there is substance, to immediately proceed to take action in all such cases as the taxpayers are in deep anguish. Let the Government as well as mandarins in the corridors of power understand the excruciating pain and anguish of the tax payers, who have been suffering for over two decades in the State of Maharashtra. There is a onerous responsibility on those who govern to prove to the taxpayers that eradication of corruption would not prove for them a forlorn hope.”
