New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Jharkhand High Court to first hear preliminary objections to the public interest litigation being worthy of hearing, urging it to probe the alleged sanction of transaction and mining leases of some cell companies run by Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren and his family members and associates.
     
A vacation bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and Bela M Trivedi said the high court itself had said in its May 13 order that it would first consider whether the PIL filed by Shiv Kumar Sharma was maintainable or not and then it would look into the merits and demerits of the allegations made in the petition.
     
The court said, "We are of the view that the High Court will first consider the initial objections to the writ petition being worthy of hearing and then proceed in accordance with the law." The apex court also made it clear that it had not commented on the merits and demerits of the case nor responded to the allegations made in the petition. The Jharkhand government has moved the Supreme Court against the High Court's order.
