Overview
- The Division Bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam A. Ankhad rejected the 2023 petition on December 22, 2025.
- Petitioner Nanasaheb Jadhav sought a CBI probe into alleged irregular permissions for the Lavasa hill city after a 2018 complaint drew no FIR, as shown by a 2022 RTI reply.
- The court found the filing repetitive of an earlier case disposed of in 2022 and said no fresh material had been placed on record.
- A detailed order was awaited in some reports, even as the judges reiterated limits on directing criminal action in proceedings on the civil side.
- Sharad Pawar opposed the plea through an intervention calling the allegations baseless, while prior HC observations in 2022 had noted apparent exertion of influence without ordering relief.
