A court in Mumbai on Thursday rejected the Enforcement Directorate's plea seeking to intervene in the hearing on a closure report of Mumbai Police in the alleged Rs 25,000 crore Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank scam.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar had been named as an accused in the case. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of city police filed a closure report in September before the special Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) court. The EOW claimed that its special investigation team found no criminal aspect to the case.
