The Supreme Court has agreed to hear in open court a plea for review of its judgement, which had quashed the disproportionate assets case against former UP Chief Minister Mayawati.

A bench of justices P Sathasivam and Dipak Mishra put up the review petition for hearing in the courtroom on October 9.

The review petitions are normally decided by judges in their chambers and litigants and their counsel are not allowed to be present there.

The review petition was filed by Uttar Pradesh native Kamlesh Verma who was an intervener in the case filed by Mayawati in the apex court for quashing of the DA case against her.

In a major relief to BSP supremo Mayawati, the Supreme Court had on July 6 quashed a nine-year-long disproportionate assets case against her and had pulled up the CBI for exceeding its jurisdiction by lodging an FIR against her without any direction from it.
