The Maharashtra government had informed the High Court in December that the Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police had initiated a preliminary inquiry into the complaint.

The Thackeray family opposed the PIL and sought its dismissal stating that such orders cannot be passed as the petition lacks facts and seeks to circumvent due process of law. (ANI)
