The Bombay High Court on Wednesday asked BJP leader Kirit Somaiya if it could entertain his PIL regarding a property owned by Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray's wife merely because it claims to highlight alleged irregularities.

Somaiya's public interest litigation sought a court-monitored investigation into a property owned by Thackeray's wife Rashmi Thackeray at Alibaug in coastal Maharashtra. It also sought that "disclosure reports" about the probe be submitted to the court periodically.
