SC dismisses Retd Lt Gen Avadh Prakash's petition related to Sukna

The Supreme Court today dismissed Lt Gen (retd) Avadesh Prakash's petition challenging the Court of Inquiry (COI) ordered against him in a land scam case.<br/><br/>A bench of Justices V S Sirpurkar and Mukundakam Sharma observed that many skeletons can tumble out if it starts digging into the matter.<br/><br/>Prakash was indicted by an Army COI for his alleged role in issuing of No-objection Certificate to a private realtor Dilip Agarwal for building an educational institute on<br/><br/>a 71-acre land adjacent to the Sukna military station in West Bengal.<br/><br/>The apex court also rejected Prakash's argument that the COI was untenable as the three-member panel included two major general rank officers who were junior to him in the hierarchy.
