The Jharkhand High Court today directed the state to produce a progress report on 12th November on the vigilance probe into the disproportionate assets case against former chief minister Madhu Koda and some of his former cabinet colleagues. <br/>The two-member bench headed by Chief Justice Gyan Sudha Mishra was hearing a PIL filed by petitioner Durga Oraon in November 2008 seeking a CBI probe into the assets of Koda and several of his former cabinet colleagues. The PIL alleged that former ministers Bandhu Tirkey, Chandraprakash Choudhary, Kamlesh Singh, Enos Ekka and Harinarayan Rai had multiplied their wealth during their ministerial term. <br/>On an earlier hearing, the bench had directed the I-T department to furnish relevant documents including I-T returns filed by the former ministers in connection with the DA case. Ekka and Rai are currently in judicial custody after they surrendered before a special vigilance court in September.<br/>
