DA case: SC reserves order on Mayawati`s plea

The Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved its verdict on bahujan Samajwadi Party chief Mayawati's plea challenging a CBI probe against her in an alleged disproportionate assets case. A bench headed by P Sathasivam reserved its order after two-hour-long hearing during which the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister accused the CBI for "fixing" the disproportionate assets (DA) case against her, a charge refuted by the agency. Mayawati had filed a petition in May 2008 seeking quashing of the criminal proceedings against her in the DA case lodged by the CBI over eight years ago, alleging it was an act of political vendetta.
