A bench comprising Chief Justice D B Bhosale and Justice Suneet Kumar passed the order on a petition filed by the UPPSC through its chairman and members.
In the petition it was alleged that the UPPSC is a constitutional body and therefore a notification directing CBI inquiry was illegal and without jurisdiction. As per the petition, no inquiry against the commission can be directed under existing laws.
At the time of hearing, a preliminary objection was raised that petition filed on behalf of chairman and its members is not maintainable and is liable to be dismissed.
However, fixing January 9 as the date the court has asked counsel for state government to apprise the court of the basis on which the state government recommended a CBI inquiry.
