HC grants stay order against Benjamin case
Bombay High Court on Tuesday granted interim stay to senior bureaucrat T C Benjamin, on an order directing the Maharashtra Anti- Corruption Bureau (ACB) to investigate accusations against him in an alleged real estate scam.
The ACB registered an FIR against Benjamin, the Principal Secretary of the State Urban Development Department, and developer Niranjan Hiranandani, on July 5, following the order by a special court.
Benjamin moved the High Court against the order on Tuesday. The court granted a stay on the order till July 18 and directed the state police to explain its stand on the case.
The senior official is accused of suspected conspiracy with Hiranandani to enable him to build luxury flats in Powai in violation of a tripartite agreement between the builder, the state government and the MMRDA.
Benjamin, in his petition, specified that there were no allegations of financial fraud against him and questioned the corruption charges against him.
