SC notice to Mulayam

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Mulayam Singh, on the CBI’s plea for permission to place on record its preliminary enquiry (PE) report on the allegations that he amassed assets disproportionate to the known sources of his income. The CBI also sought permission to proceed further by registering a proper case.

A Bench consisting of Justices C.K. Thakker and Altamas Kabir also issued notice to Mr. Singh’s sons, Akhilesh Yadav, MP, and Prateek Yadav; and Dimple Yadav, wife of Mr. Akhilesh Yadav, on the CBI application which cited them as respondents. The Bench granted them four weeks to file their response.

Acting on the PIL petition from Vishwanath Chaturvedi, the court in March this year directed the CBI to conduct the PE into the assets of Mr. Singh and others and if a case was made out, after scrutinising material, take further action.
