New Delhi: The Supreme Court today issued notice to the Centre on a petition filed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati seeking to quash CBI investigations against her in a disproportionate asset case.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan declined to pass any interim order and posted the matter for further hearing on July 14.
The court also sough CBI's response on Mayawati's petition.
CBI had registered the FIR against Mayawati on October 5, 2003 after the apex court had ordered the agency to investigate the Taj Heritage Corridor Scam.
The Bahujan Samaj Party chief contended that the FIR lodged against her was illegal as no sanction was taken from the state and the agency had misinterpreted the apex court order which only directed investigation into the Taj corridor case.
