Shameet Mukherjee New Delhi: A court here on Saturday framed charges against former Delhi High Court judge Shameet Mukherjee and four others, including ex-DDA Vice Chairman Subhash Sharma, in a DDA land scam case. Additional Sessions Judge I. K. Kochhar framed charges against Mukherjee, Sharma, and three others under a provision of the IPC dealing with criminal conspiracy and various others of the Prevention of Corruption Act for allegedly taking undue benefits. Besides Mukherjee and Sharma, personal secretary to former DDA V-C Ashok Kapoor, sacked Delhi Police constable Vinod Khatri and alleged middleman Dharambir Khattar were ordered to be present in court for recording the prosecution evidence on May 26. The former judge is in the dock for allegedly giving an order favouring a co-accused, who had allegedly encroached DDA land and was involved in a legal battle with the land-owning agency. According to the CBI, the former judge granted an interim stay in favour of co-accused Khatri which prevented the DDA from repossessing the encroached land from him. The land was required for widening the Aruna Asif Ali Road here but the project could not proceed due to the alleged nexus between the accused, the CBI alleged. The CBI, in a chargesheet filed in April 2005, had said that it shortlisted around 100 calls of Mukherjee and other accused to support its allegations that the accused abused their official position to extend benefits to other co-accused. — PTI
