DA case: SC seeks Mayawati's reply on plea for fresh FIR

The Supreme Court has granted three weeks time to BSP Chief Mayawati to file her reply on a plea seeking direction to CBI to lodge fresh FIR in a disproportionate assets case against her. A bench headed by Chief Justice RM Lodha yesterday adjourned the case for five weeks and also allowed the petitioner to file rejoinder on Mayawati's reply. The apex court had on January 17 agreed to hear the PIL filed by a Uttar Pradesh resident Kamlesh Verma seeking registration of a case against the former Chief Minister. 18 months after quashing a disproportionate assets case against BSP chief Mayawati on a technical ground, the Supreme Court had questioned why CBI had not filed a fresh FIR in the case. It had said that CBI should have got proper advice on registration of a fresh case against her after the apex court quashed the FIR and had issued notice to the agency and Mayawati on Verma's plea.
