The bench, however, observed that the petition was maintainable.
“Whether or not it is mandatory for the government to table the report we will consider later but first tell us if the government plans to table the report in the ongoing winter session,” Justice Kanade said.
The government will have to inform the court on this tomorrow.
The petition, filed by BJP MLA Yogesh Sagar and party spokesperson Atul Shah, alleged a conspiracy behind the government's reluctance to make public the report and that it was trying to bury the matter.
