Bombay high court on Monday dismissed a PIL questioning purchase of bullet proof jackets by Maharashtra Government in 2002.
The petitioner, Mr Santosh Daundkar, had contended that the jackets were of sub-standard quality and they caused the death of former ATS chief Hemant Karkare on the night of November 26,2008 during Mumbai terror attacks.
However, a division bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice S.C. Dharmadhikari held that the decision as to what kind of jackets should have been purchased was a matter of administrative discretion and the court will not examine it.
