LUCKNOW: Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Wednesday
reserved its judgment on PILs seeking direction for initiation of
criminal proceeding against former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati
and her cabinet colleague Naseemuddin Siddiqui in the alleged Taj
Corridor scam. It is likely to pronounce the decision after Dussehra
vacations, though no specific date has been fixed.
While on behalf of the petitioners counsel CB Pandey argued before the bench of Justice Imtiyaz Murtaza and Justice Ashwini Kumar Singh, senior counsel Satish Chandra Mishra along with a team of advocates represented Mayawati and other respondents.
A special CBI court had dropped the proceedings against Mayawati and Siddiqui in 2007 for lack of prosecution sanction, which was not granted by then governor. The CBI did not appeal against the order. Subsequently, three PILs were filed in 2009 challenging the decision of the CBI court. Later, three more PILs were filed in this connection later. Later, several hearing notices were issued by the court to Mayawati and Siddiqui.
