PIL against Narayan Rane for his statement on terror attack

A city-based advocate has filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), seeking a direction from the High Court to rebel Congress leader and former Maharashtra revenue minister Narayan Rane to disclose names of the politicians, who he claimed had provided financial assistance and logistic support to the terrorists involved in the 26/11 strikes on the metropolis. Advocate Amin Solkar has filed the PIL, which will come up for hearing on december 18, when the court will also hear two more petitions on the terror attack. In the PIL, Solkar has said while addressing media persons, Rane had indicated that he will reveal the names of certain leaders who had provided financial and logistical support to the Pakistani terrorists at an appropriate time. Solkar said withholding information on the commissioning of an offence from police or a magistrate is a crime under section 39 of the Criminal Procedure code. Concealment of sensitive information relating to a grave offence, itself amounts to an offence by Mr Rane, he said. UNI
