The Allahabad High Court has granted a week's further time to a petitioner to bring facts with regard to alleged merger of the bungalows of former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati in Lucknow.
A division bench here of justice Satyendra Singh Chauhan and justice Ritu Raj Awasthi gave this order on January 11 on a public interest litigation (PIL) petition filed by M L Yadav in 2013 seeking a direction to produce all the records of bungalow No. 9 in Mall Avenue here and make clear under which procedure/channel it was ultimately allegedly transferred in Mayawati's name.
The petitioner also sought a direction for a detailed inquiry by an independent agency like CBI in this matter.
Earlier, the court had directed the petitioner to do more research work and find out as to how many other bungalows had been merged in the city of Lucknow on identical pattern in the matter related to bungalow allotment to Mayawati.
The HC directed the matter be listed after a week.
