The Supreme Court on Monday gave its nod for criminal prosecution of Indian National Lok Dal, INLD leaders Ajay and Abhay Chautala in a disproportionate assets case. A Division Bench of V S Sirpurkar and T S Thakur dismissed their plea of quashing the criminal case against them on the ground that no sanction was taken from authorities before initiating proceedings against them. The Bench said that there was no need to get sanction before their criminal prosecution and vacated the stay on the proceedings. ‘Refusing to grant any relief to Chautalas, the Bench upheld the Delhi High Court order for their prosecution. The CBI had filed a chargesheet in December last year against the brothers alleging that they had accumulated massive wealth which was disproportionate to their known sources of income.
