AHMEDABAD:
In a relief for the animal husbandry minister, Parshottam Solanki,
Gujarat high court on Monday stayed an arrest warrant issued by the
special anti-corruption court in Gandhinagar against him in connection
with an alleged fisheries scam. In this case, complainant Ishaq Maradia
had sought HC intervention to unearth the alleged irregularities,
cancellation of fishing contracts and for governor's sanction for
criminal prosecution of the minister.After staying the warrant, Justice
JB Pardiwala issued notice to the state government and kept further
hearing next month.
The special ACB court had issued the arrest warrant against Solanki last month, when he did not respond to its summons and failed to appear before the court after it decided to begin trial in the case aga inst Solanki, who was fisheries minister during the concerned period, and five retired government officials. The HC has, however, stayed trial against a former minister Dilip Sanghani for want of sanction for criminal prosecution.
