No More Adjournments In Lokpal Case On Ex-Jharkhand Chief Minister: Court
NDTV
Shibu Soren has challenged the proceedings initiated against him by the Lokpal on the basis of a complaint by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey.
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday made it clear that no further adjournment shall be granted on a petition by Jharkhand Mukti Morcha chief Shibu Soren, who has challenged the proceedings initiated against him by the Lokpal on the basis of a complaint by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey.
The high court's observation came when a lawyer representing Mr Soren sought adjournment on grounds that the filing advocate had some personal difficulties. The request for adjournment was opposed by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was representing the Lokpal.
Noting the submissions, Justice Prathiba M Singh adjourned the matter but made it clear that "no further adjournment shall be granted."
The high court listed the matter for further hearing on February 8, 2023 and said that the interim order shall continue till then.
