Salunkhe had alleged that IPS officer Bishnoi with the help of Inamdar had cleared his LLB examination without appearing for the practicals. The seven other IPS officials, including ATS chief Rakesh Maria, had conducted an inquiry into the allegations against Bishnoi.

Salunkhe had, however, approached the high court, claiming that the IPS officers had given Bishnoi a clean chit to shield him.

A division bench of Justices V M Kanade and P D Kode had earlier directed the then DGP K Subramanyam to conduct an inquiry into the allegations against the seven officers.

The DGP in his report submitted to the high court had given clean chit to five officers - Maria, Nagpur Joint Commissioner of Police Sanjay Saxena, Additional Commissioner of Police (West) Vishwas Nangre Patil, Additional Director General of Police Pankaj Gupta and Additional Commissioner of Police (Special Branch) Naval Bajaj.

The retired DGP, however, recommended advisory note to be issued to two officers - Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Brijesh Singh and Additional Director General of Police M M Rathod - for non-application of mind and casual approach while dealing with the complaints filed by Salunkhe against Bishnoi.

Salunkhe today filed an affidavit seeking the court to set up a judicial commission to probe into the case.

"What happened was very unfortunate. But even now we feel some workable arrangement should be arrived at considering high ranking officers who have done lot towards their duty are involved," Justice Kanade said.

The bench said it would hear the matter in chamber on October 29 where only the lawyers of the involved parties would be present and it would try to arrive at a solution to the entire dispute.
