Indian politician and Shiv Sena MLA Aaditya Thackeray has moved the Bombay High Court seeking to be heard before any order is passed in a public interest litigation demanding a CBI probe in connection with the deaths of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and his former manager Disha Salian. 
 
In his application filed on October 13, Thackeray said the PIL would not be considered as a probe by state machinery was already on in the matter. 
 
The PIL, filed by the ‘Supreme Court &amp; High Court Litigants Association of India’ through its president Rashid Khan Pathan in September, demanded the immediate arrest of Thackeray in connection with the “mysterious” deaths of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput. 
 
The PIL has not yet been taken up for hearing by HC. 
 
“We have filed an intervention application saying we should be heard before any order is passed. We have said the PIL is not maintainable as the investigation in Sushant Singh Rajput matter is already on by CBI,” Thackeray's lawyer told media.&nbsp;

“How can any order be passed in a PIL when a state machinery is already seized of the probe,” he added. 
 
The PIL sought a probe against Thackeray by the CBI in relation to the two cases. Thackeray has served as a state minister in the Maharashtra government in previous years.&nbsp;

Sushant Singh Rajput death case 
 
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his apartment in suburban Bandra on June 14, 2020. An initial probe by the Mumbai police stated that it was a case of suicide. However, in July, the actor's father filed a case against actress Rhea Chakraborty and her family, accusing them of abetment to suicide. Rhea and Sushant were a couple during the time of Sushant's death. 
 
The case was later transferred to the CBI, which is presently carrying out a probe in the city. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is probing allegations of money laundering against Rhea and her family, while the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is looking into claims that Rhea used to consume drugs and had also given the same to Rajput.

Disha Salian, a former manager of Rajput, died on June 8, 2020, after falling off the 14th floor of a residential building in suburban Malad in Mumbai.&nbsp;

Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray met newly-elected party MLAs at a hotel here early on Friday as uncertainty over the formation of the next government continues to prevail in Maharashtra.

Aditya arrived late on Thursday night at Hotel Rangsharda, where the MLAs are lodged to prevent poaching attempts and left about 1 am on Friday.

The Worli MLA-elect has been projected as the next chief minister by party leaders.

The MLAs will be staying at the hotel for the next two days that are considered very crucial for government formation as the term of the incumbent government ends today.

They were shifted to the hotel after a meeting with Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray at his residence "Matoshree".

Shiv Sena, which fought the election with BJP, is not ready to settle for anything less than an equal share in Cabinet portfolios and the Chief Minster's post for 2.5 years.

The BJP has emerged as the single largest party by winning 105 seats in the recently held Assembly polls. The Shiv Sena got 56 seats in the 288-member Assembly.

"The important question is who will be the chief minister? When the Lok Sabha elections were held, we had decided on the 50-50 formula in the state. (BJP state chief) Chandrakant Patil raised some issues this time which we understood but we can only tolerate so much. After all, we have to run our party too. If the need arises Amit (Shah) Ji should come here to carry out what was decided earlier," Thackeray had said during the press conference.

The BJP-Shiv Sena alliance won an absolute majority in the Maharashtra assembly polls with the former emerging as the single largest party in the state with 105 seats.

Aditya Thackeray declared assets worth over Rs 16 crore. As per the nomination form, he has bank deposits of Rs 10.36 crore, bonds/shares/mutual funds of approximately Rs 97 lakh, jewellery worth around Rs.1 crore, immovable properties worth Rs 4.67 crore, other investments worth Rs 10.22 lakh and cash in hand Rs 13,344.00.
