The Supreme Court today reserved its verdict on BSP supremo Mayawati's plea challenging a CBI probe against her in an alleged disproportionate assets case. A bench headed by P Sathasivam reserved its order after two-hour-long hearing during which the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister accused the CBI for fixing the disproportionate assets (DA) case against her, a charge refuted by the agency.

Mayawati had filed a petition in May 2008 seeking quashing of the criminal proceedings against her in the DA case lodged by the CBI over eight years ago, alleging it was an act of political vendetta. Mayawati's counsel 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.

The CBI, during earlier hearings, had said there was sufficient evidence to show that she had amassed wealth disproportionate to her known sources of income.
