A Bombay High Court division bench (Justices B.P. Saraf and M.S. Rane) dismissed the CITU public interest petition and two others against the agreement. It held the challenge barred by res judicata and delay, and found that the petitioners had not placed on record material to support the allegations of corruption and bribery. The court said the Munde committee report held "enough indications" of corruption and that the common man had been "taken for a ride". On 2 May 1997 the Supreme Court issued notice only on the accountability of the State of Maharashtra for its inconsistent stand. [3][1][2][4][5]
