Click to play videoNew Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, his son Akhilesh and other members of his family to file details of their Income Tax returns between 2001 and 2007.
The order came while the court was hearing a PIL asking for a CBI inquiry into Mulayam's assets. The Chief Minister has been given four weeks to reply to the notice.
The order was passed by a vacation Bench comprising Justice Arijit Pasayat and Justice C K Thakker on a petition filed by one Vishwanath Chaturvedi from Uttar Pradesh.
Chaturvedi, in his petition, has alleged that the Chief Minister has amassed wealth worth crores of rupees by corrupt means and misusing his official position.
However, the Bench kept open to examine the bonafide of the petitioner after Mulayam's counsel Mukul Rohtagi alleged that his credentials have to be examined.
