A division bench of the Bombay High Court in Goa on Monday issued notices to the Secretary of Ministry of Civil Aviation, Chief Secretary of Goa, Director General of Police, the Airport Director and the Deputy Commandant of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), seeking thorough probe into BJP National President Amit Shah's July 1 public meeting at Dabolim International Airport in Goa.
The court bench, comprising Justices F M Reis and Nutan Sardessai, issued notices on a petition filed by social activist advocate Aires Rodrigues, demanding an inquiry.
The petitioner sought directions to ensure that the rule of law was upheld by holding an inquiry for fixing the responsibility and taking action in accordance with law against the organisers and those responsible for the public meeting held within the precincts of the airport.
