New Delhi: The Supreme Court is to deliver its verdict today on BSP chief Mayawati's plea, challenging the CBI probe in an alleged disproportionate assets (DA) case against her.
Mayawati had filed a petition in May 2008 seeking quashing of the criminal proceedings against her in the DA case, lodged by the CBI eight years ago. She had alleged it was an act of political vendetta. A bench headed by P Sathasivam had reserved its judgment on May 1 after two-hour-long hearing during which the former Uttar Pradesh CM had accused the CBI of "fixing" the DA case, a charge refuted by the agency.
Mayawati had said the bench should direct the CBI to consider the aspect of order passed by the Income Tax Tribunal holding that her income was genuine and the order had also been upheld by Delhi HC.
The CBI said there was "ample evidence" to show that her declared assets of Rs 1 crore in 2003 was at Rs 50 crore in 2007.
