Mumbai, June 18 The Bombay High Court on Wednesday asked why the Anti-Corruption Bureau had not registered a case against Pune police commissioner Jayant Umaranikar for allegedly travelling to New Delhi at an accused person's expenses in 2006.

A division bench of Justice Bilal Nazki and Justice S S Shinde summoned the ACB investigation officer to the court on the next hearing on July 2. An NGO, Citizens's Organisation For Public Opinion, filed a PIL alleging corruption in the Crime Investigation Department (CID) last year.

As an instance, it alleged that Umaranikar, who was

earlier Additional DGP of CID, had travelled along with the family to Delhi at the expense of one Sanjay Randive, a travel agent, who was a suspect in a case that CID was probing.

The PIL alleges that CID officers pressurized him to buy air tickets for their superior.

Today, public prosecutor Satish Borulkar argued that Randive did not have to bear the cost personally, as Umaranikar repaid him Rs 56,000 out of “secret service fund” of the police.

To this, Justice Nazki said, “It still amounts to misappropriation of public money.” The court has now said that it will ask the investigating officer why no case has been registered in this regard.
