On the basis of orders of the Supreme Court dated September 18, 2003, the CBI had filed two separate FIRs -- 18/2003 pertaining to Taj Corridor Case and 19/2003 pertaining to disproportionate assets case.
It had also informed the Supreme Court that disproportionate assets case against Mayawati was not linked with Taj Corridor case, based on which the apex delinked the two cases on October 25, 2004.
While delinking the two cases, the Supreme Court had said "Re: FIR0062003A0019 The further investigation report filed by the CBI in this connection while indicating large-scale irregularities does not in fact show any link between such irregularities and the Taj Corridor Matter which is the subject matter of reference before the Special Bench.
"The CBI therefore is at liberty to proceed with and take action on the basis of their investigation in respect of this FIR. In the event any link is disclosed in the course of such investigation between facts as found and the Taj Corridor Project, the CBI will bring the same to the notice of this Court. In any event, the CBI will be entitled to take action on the basis of the investigation as it may think fit." More
