New Delhi, October 31: A Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court will on Tuesday hear Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadhra Singh’s disproportionate assets matter.
During the previous hearing, the special court directed the CBI to hand over certain documents to Virbhadra in connection with the case. The court’s direction came after Virbhadra, his wife Pratibha Singh and others told the court that they had not received various documents filed along with the chargesheet.
Earlier on May 29, the court granted bail to all accused, including the HP Chief Minister and his wife, in the matter. Virbhadra was asked to furnish Rs 1 lakh personal bond and surety of the same amount. He was also asked not to leave the country without the court’s permission.
Earlier on May 22, Singh and the other accused in the case moved the Special CBI court for bail. The Special CBI court issued a notice to the CBI to reply on the bail plea of all the accused, including Virbhadra and his wife. Earlier, the court had summoned them after taking cognisance of the chargesheet filed by the CBI. The CBI in its 500-page chargesheet claimed that Virbhadra had accumulated assets worth around Rs 10 crore which were disproportionate to his total income during his tenure as a Union minister.
