CBI to dismiss the DA case against Mayawati: Supreme Court

08 Oct 2013 Evaluate

CBI has decided to wind up its probe in the disproportionate assets case against BSP supreme Mayawati after receiving legal opinion on the Supreme Court orders on the issue. CBI sources said the apex court had quashed the agency's FIR in connection with alleged disproportionate assets of the BSP leader last year but the matter was in a limbo after an intervention application was filed by a private person.

The Supreme Court had on August 8, this year dismissed the intervention application, paving the way for the closure of the DA case against Mayawati. CBI said that that if anyone wants a probe, he can approach an appropriate court to get a suitable order with which CBI would comply.

On August 8, the apex court had dismissed a petition filed by Uttar Pradesh resident Kamlesh Verma who was an intervener in the case filed by Mayawati for quashing the DA case. The Supreme Court had on July 6, last year quashed the nine-year-long disproportionate assets case against the BSP leader and had pulled up CBI for exceeding its jurisdiction by lodging an FIR against her without any direction from it. The court had said the DA case against Mayawati was 'unwarranted' and that the agency proceeded against her without properly understanding its orders which were confined to the Taj Corridor case relating to the release of Rs 17 crore by the UP government allegedly without sanction.
