Bombay high court stays trial against former Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan

MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Thursday stayed the trial proceedings against former chief minister Ashok Chavan in the Adarsh case.

The HC was hearing a petition filed by CBI against an order passed by a trial judge rejecting its application to drop Chavan's name from the chargesheet as the Maharashtra governor had refused to grant the prosecution sanction and hence it needed to drop his name.

The HC after hearing both the CBI and others stayed proceedings against Chavan in the trial court but it clarified that the proceedings against the other 12 accused are on.
