Mumbai, Nov 4: Param Bir Singh, former police commissioner informed Justice K U Chandiwal Commission that he does not wish to cross examine any person and provide further evidence, but experts believe the probe will continue into allegations made by Singh.

"Singh has mentioned that he does not wish to cross examine any person and lead evidence before the commission. In my opinion, even in his absence, the commission will continue to probe into the charges levelled by him against then home minister Anil Deshmukh. Since, Singh has refused to appear before the commission, it will examine Deshmukh, dismissed API Sachin Waze, Sanjay Palande and others as per the provisions of the commission of inquiry Act," a senior lawyer said.

The lawyer made it clear it does not mean Singh has withdrawn his complaint. "He will not appear before the commission and cross examine any of the witnesses," he said.
