New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear a review petition filed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh's son, Akhilesh Singh Yadav, on Friday.
Akhilesh, MP from Kannauj, has filed a review petition in the court seeking a stay on a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe against him till Assembly elections end in UP. The CBI is probing a disproportionate assets case filed against him.
On March 16, Justice AR Lakshmanan of the SC broke down in open court and refused to hear a review plea by Akhilesh. Lakshmanan said he received an anonymous letter in the morning which cast aspersions on his integrity.
The one page letter to Justice Lakshmanan was sent through fax from an unknown number on Friday morning. The fax was sent at his residence.
"In seventeen-and-a-half years of my judicial career, I have never gone through such a thing. I am very much pained. The contents of the letter are so heinous that my wife and I are very disturbed," he was quoted by news agency PTI as saying in a voice choking down with emotion and tears in his eyes.
