MUMBAI: Bombay high court on Monday will hear a public interest litigation seeking direction to the State to recover losses due to damage of public and private property in the Azad Maidan last year.

The PIL filed by journalists Sanket Satope and Uday Joshi, through their advocate Sanjiv Punalekar, is posted for hearing on February 18, 2013 before a division bench of Justice A M Khanwilkar and Justice K K Tated. The PIL seeks to raise the issue of total and utter failure '' of the State government and the police commissioner in initiating measures to recover losses and damages from persons and organisers who have caused huge loss to public and private properties on August 11, 2012. It has also questioned why the role of police officers -additional commissioner of police (South ) Krishna Prakash and retired assistant commissioner of police - Shamsher Khan Pathan , who were on the dais, is not probed.

It urged the court to intervene in public interest to restore people's faith in the system saying it is necessary in an unprecedented situation of a riot and violence of such magnitude which has completely shattered the faith and confidence of law abiding citizens and even of policemen.''

The petition said while the police claim to have received clues of invisible hand, the role of influential persons and organisations is being underplayed. About Prakash, the petition said he is a common factor for riots whether at Miraj or in Mumbai.'' Also that inflammatory speeches were made in his presence at Azad Maidan but no efforts were made to investigate his role. It added that Pathan was not investigated with particular reference to providing inside information about the police to the rioters.''

The petitioners alleged that the State is following double standards'' in dealing with Raza Academy and other organisers of the event on August 11, 2012. The petitioners urged direction to police to expeditiously complete its inquiry and necessary proceedings for recovery of losses.
