HC to hear PIL against Yadav Singh on Feb 23

February 16, 2015 21:15

The Allahabad high court today fixed February 23 as the next date of hearing of a petition alleging charges of irregularities, misuse of post and corruption against former Noida engineer-in-chief Yadav Singh.

The Lucknow bench of the high court had given time to the state government to file reply on a PIL that sought direction for a CBI probe in the matter and had fixed February 16 as the next date of hearing.

A division bench of Justice Satyendra Singh Chauhan and Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi passed the order on the PIL filed by Nutan Thakur, a social activist.

The petitioner contended that earlier she had filed a supplementary affidavit before the court carrying facts including details of various fake companies floated by Singh for siphoning off illegal money.
