MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Tuesday dismissed a public interest litigation seeking an investigation into the allegedly fake bank guarantees furnished by Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd for a ₹16,600-crore contract for the Thane-Borivali twin tunnels project. Mumbai, India - Aug. 28, 2015 : Bombay High Court : A division bench of chief justice Alok Aradhe and justice Bharati Dangre ruled that the petitioner, investigative journalist Ravi Prakash Velicheti, had not approached the court with clean intentions. The bench also agreed with the defendants’ claim that a tweet posted by Velicheti last month after the matter was taken up by the court amounted to criminal contempt, but decided not to take legal action against him since the post was taken down within five days. The bench also agreed that Velicheti’s tweets amounted to criminal contempt, but acknowledged that the court should not be hyper-sensitive even when its criticism oversteps the limit.
