A division bench of the Bombay High Court (HC) recused itself on Tuesday from hearing a bail petition filed by dismissed Mumbai Police officer Sachin Waze, who is currently in judicial custody for his alleged involvement in a corruption case. Former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh is also an accused in the case.
Waze, who was arrested in connection with the case, had sought bail on the grounds that he has been designated as an approver and that the other accused in the case have already been granted bail. His plea argued that continued detention violated his fundamental rights, especially since he had cooperated with the investigation officers.
