Hearing a public interest litigation seeking an independent probe against the BJP leader and state CM over allegations of providing state largesse to his family members, the bench of justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta said, “The coincidence is remarkable that in a state work orders and tenders are given to family members in huge numbers.”
