"Why no chargesheets have been filed against any of the offenders?" Division Bench of Chief Justice Swatanter Kumar and Justice S A Bobde asked.
"Keep the senior officer in charge of the probe present in the court next Wednesday (December 10)," High Court ordered.
Raj in July, 2008 issued a virtual diktat to shopkeepers and businessmen in the city that they must put up Marathi signboards.
In September there were incidents of vandalism and violence targeting shops not having Marathi boards.
Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association had filed application in the High Court seeking protection from MNS' vandalism. Court had passed order restraining the MNS and Raj from indulging in violence.
On Friday, the government lawyer submitted to the court list of MNS workers arrested and cases filed against them.
The accused were arrested and eventually got bail, said advocate V A Gangal representing state.
But the court asked whether anyone has been chargesheeted. When Gangal replied that probe was still on, Chief Justice Kumar asked, "What investigation? Is this a murder trial?"
"Why no chargesheets have been filed yet?" Chief Justice asked.
The court observed that the incidents had taken place in September so there was no reason why the prosecution could not have started yet.
It directed that the senior official-in-charge of cases against Raj and MNS workers be kept present in the court on December 10.
"Affidavits filed by the government are not satisfactory. Produce entire records of the cases. The officer will have to explain why chargesheets are not yet filed," the court said.
Earlier, Federation's lawyer Majid Memon said that after the High Court's orders in September, traders have faced no trouble from MNS.
"It has now subsided," Memon said.

It is Shiv Sena raj in Mumbai = goonda raj.
If Raj Thackeray wants to do Nav Nirman i.e. New Creation, tell him to come up with some good ideas for creation, for upliftment of Marathi Manoos and tell his team of persons to work for the society. Not to destroy the property of Government, call for bandh etc. Come up with some ideas, people of Maharshtra will whole heartedly suppport the creation of ideas. If he does not have those ideas then he has no right to create havoc and pressurise on people of Maharashtra
We all maharashtrian are proud of Raaj Thakare, he is in the jail for upliftment
was there any govt: in maharashtra for the last one year? only film directors, Heros and Villains found in the vidhan sabha. let us see with the new hero and the old villain can do any thing for the people. Unless and until the lady who do not know about INDIA and the Indian History and the struggle for the INDEPENDENCEALSO THE Bold and beautiful people who sacrificed their lives that person is not fit to sit in the helm of offairs in the so called HIGH COMMAND. The congress party is slowly vanishing from the Indian Political scenario.
Raj Thackeray shd be in jail with his manhus manoos for trying to divide india and his goondagiri. Why should citizens of India put up with internal terrorists ?Is the judicial system non existent? Call for his arrest and all likeminded people to save the country! Then fight external terrosrists!
One hopes that the new Chief Minister and Home Minister of Maharashtra get the priorities right and make sure that stringent action is taken against MNS and other organisations, who indulge in vandalism, threaten and beat up citizens. Moreover, the police personnel and resources are not wasted on moral policing - targeting bar dancers, couples on the seafront and in the parks, 'investigating' wardrobe malfunctions, objecting to cheerleaders clothing and what have you. Let the police get on with their real job - prevent and investigate crime and maintain law
Raj Thakrey deservs thisand it looks like there is judicial activitam. HOpe in the sme note Law ministry take note CJI galaventing all over the world on Tax payers money. Please haul up these rascals.
Lets start terrorist cleaning from India first - why do we wait for Pakistan to give us our list of vagabounds, shoot or nuetralize these terrorists first
Raj Thackery and his M.N.S should be banned .This good for nothing fellow was not to be seen at the time of the Mumbai attack.
Great move and determination. This only will save this country from scoundrals like Raj Thakrey and Bal Thakrey. I would wait to read the proceeding details.
But what happens to scoundrels like Avinash? Only a Raj Thakeray can tackle them effectively, right?
Meenal,you manoos can beat north Indians and burn buses and distroy properties any time. What happend when terrorist hijajacked police van, how come you did not not attacked them to stop them. I bet you you were sitting in your airconditioned house hiding under the table.
The Marathi police couldn't handle it so NSG commandos had to be called :). And the most ridiculous thing I'm seeing these days is that Shiv Sena and MNS have put posters of only the Marathi officers killed in action, not of Maj. Unnikrishnan, the real guy who fought and liberated the Taj from the terrorists. Are only Marathi officers to be saluted. This kind of mentality shows how low these "Marathi Manoos" politicians can stoop.
mumbai is a cosmopolitan city with people from different ethnic, religious and regional background what i mean to say that there a lot of non Marathi people in this city then my question to Basant and Avinash is why is that only people from UP and Bihar been singled out for this special treatment?
I can hazard a guess why no chargesheets have been filed.Because the police are busy running after silly errands of politicians in power
Thackeray's Jungle Raj and don't know why the Maharashtra govt. is allowing all this. May be they too are paid for these acts. What a shame. MNS fights for all the stupidity that one could ever imagine about, but not for the terror acts. Bravo Thackeray's Bravo !!!!!
