New Delhi, Nov 18: The Supreme Court today decided to hear on February 1 next year the plea of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati seeking quashing of criminal proceedings against her in a disproportionate assets case lodged by the CBI eight years ago.
A Bench of justices P Sathasivam and J Chelameshwar said it cannot hear the matter this year as it was preoccupied with other important cases.
“We will keep the matter for final disposal and hear it from February 1,” the bench said after Mayawati’s close aide and senior advocate S C Mishra pressed for urgent hearing of the plea by the BSP supremo, who is gearing up to face assembly elections early next year.
CBI during the earlier hearings had said there was “ample evidence” to show she had amassed wealth disproportionate to her known sources of income. Mayawati had filed a petition in May 2008 seeking quashing of criminal proceedings against her in the case alleging it was an act of political vendetta.
