"Let a status report from SHO PS Tilak Nagar on the complaint be called for January 22," Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal said.
The order came on a complaint filed by advocate Vishwanath Chaturvedi seeking registration of FIR against Vahanvati for allegedly abusing his office during his tenure as Solicitor General, Bhardwaj, who was then the Law Minister and Chavan, then Minister in charge of personnel department during UPA-I.
The complaint also names as accused CBI DIG Tilottama Varma and also two other CBI officials.
Chaturvedi submitted in the court that "Vahanvati, Bhardwaj and Chavan had conspired with other officials to shield Yadav and his family in the disproportionate assets case after the SP leader agreed to support UPA-I during the July 22, 2008 trust vote."
In the legal opinion on the matter, the complainant said, "Vahanvati had opined that Yadav has satisfactorily explained his wealth and assets and that the assets of his family should not be clubbed with his wealth as nowhere has it been alleged that they were holding benami properties in his name."
