MUMBAI, June 14 -- Acting on a petition filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Bombay high court on Wednesday struck down an order passed by the Esplanade metropolitan magistrate court, accepting a closure report filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) against Topsgrup Services and Solutions Ltd, in connection with alleged irregularities in the security guards contracts awarded by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). The single-judge bench of justice Madhav Jamdar has remanded the matter back to the magistrate court for fresh adjudication on the closure report. The complainant, Ramesh Iyer, ex-vice chairman of Topsgrup Services Ltd., alleged that in 2014, a contract was signed by M/s Topsgrup Services & Solutions Ltd, with MMRDA, according to which, about 350 to 500 guards were to be deployed at MMRDA sites on a monthly basis. However, only 70% of guards were actually deployed, with billing done for all the guards (100% deployment) as per contract. As per the details provided by Iyer, an amount aggregating to Rs.2.36 crore was paid as commission between May 2017 to June 2020. Following this, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) registered a criminal case in 2022 and later filed a C-summary report, discarding all the allegations in the case. On September 14, 2022, the Esplanade magistrate court accepted the report. The ED in 2022 approached the high court, challenging the magistrate's order. The high court on Wednesday set aside the order and remanded the case back to the Esplanade court for considering the 'C' summary report afresh....
