The Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh high court has directed the economic and offence wing to file a chargesheet by June 30 against former chief minister Digvijay Singh and 11 others in connection with alleged irregularities committed during construction of a shopping mall here.
A division bench comprising justices Prakash Shrivastava and S.K. Seth onWednesday gave the direction while hearing a petition filed by Mahesh Garg stating that the state EOW was dilly-dallying in the Treasure Mall case, petitioner's counsel Manohar Dalal said.
In his petition, Garg stated that though the EOW registered a case against Digvijay and 11 others in February 2009, it was dragging its feet in the probe.
Garg has lodged a complaint with the EOW alleging that gross irregularities have been committed in collusion with the state machinery to favour the mall directors unlawfully.
Following the complaint, the EOW registered a case against Digvijay, then state housing and environment minister Choudhay Rakesh Singh Chaturvedi, former Madhya Pradesh housing board chairman C. Shekhar, shopping mall owner Manish Kalani and others in 2009.
