CBI to close DA case against Mayawati

October 08, 2013 13:00

CBI to close its probe in the disproportionate assets case against BSP supremo Mayawati.

Mayawati was let off in the Taj Heritage Corridor scam case after UP governor TV Rajeswar had on June 3, 2007 refused to grant the CBI sanction to prosecute the former chief minister and her cabinet colleague Naseemuddin Siddiqui.

In its July 6, 2012 judgment, the court had quashed the FIR after perusing the almost decade-old orders of the court in the Taj Heritage Corridor scam case and coming to the conclusion that there could not have been an occasion for the apex court to direct lodging of DA case FIR against Mayawati.
