August 19, 2018 08:44

In a jolt to Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's plans to construct a heritage hotel in posh Vikramaditya Marg, the Lucknow bench of Allahabad high court has put a stay on further construction on three plots owned by either Samajwadi Party, Janeshwar Mishra Trust or the Yadav family.

The court directed the top authorities to photograph, within 24 hours, whether illegal constructions were going on these plots and furnish the report on the next date of hearing on September 5.

It also issued notices to Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav, his wife Dimple Yadav, SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and the Janeshwar Mishra Trust and sought for their response by September 5.

A bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Abdul Moin passed the order on a public interest litigation moved by lawyer Shishir Chaturvedi.
