NEW DELHI: The SC will hear a plea on Monday demanding to know the progress the CBI has made in the last seven years in its probe into alleged disproportionate assets of former UP chief ministers and SP leaders Mulayam Singh Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav and Prateek Yadav.
On a petition filed by Congress leader Vishwanath Chaturvedi, the SC had on March 1, 2007, directed the CBI to “inquire into allegations relating to Mulayam Singh Yadav, Akhilesh and Prateek as well as Dimple Yadav in the writ petition and find out as to whether the allegations made by the petitioner with regard to disproportionate assets is correct or not”. This had caused considerable embarrassment to the SP’s first family, which immediately moved a plea for recall of the order for CBI probe into their alleged disproportionate assets.
After hearing their petitions seeking review of the 2007 judgment, the SC on December 13, 2012, had directed the CBI “to drop the inquiry into the assets of Dimple Yadav, wife of Akhilesh Yadav”. However, for the other three, the SC had said, “The CBI may take such independent action, as it considers fit, on the basis of the inquiry conducted by it pursuant to the directions given by the court in the judgment under review, without seeking any direction from the Union of India or on the basis of any direction that may be given by it.”
