Mayawati delaying chargesheet in DA probe against her: CBI
PTI 12 July 2009, 05:09pm IST

NEW DELHI: CBI has accused Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati of
being responsible for the delay in filing its chargesheet in the

 disproportionate assets case registered against her and also for
making "baseless" charges of harassment and humiliation.

In a 12-page affidavit, the CBI has informed the Supreme Court that on
its part it had completed its probe in the DA case against the BSP
supremo and her relatives.

"...it is the petitioner, who does not want conclusion of the
investigation and at the same time is baselessly alleging harassment
and humiliation due to ongoing probe. The so-called delay in
conclusion of the probe of the case has been caused by the petitioner
herself," the CBI said its counter affidavit in the court.

The matter which was listed for hearing on July 13 has been adjourned
for two months after Uttar Pradesh's Additional Advocate General Shail
Kumar Dwivedi yesterday told a Bench headed by Chief Justice K G
Balakrishnan that the state government would file a counter to the
agency's affidavit.

The CBI, while giving a point-by-point reply to the affidavit filed by
Mayawati in the court, said "the petitioner never wanted the
investigation to be concluded, which is clear from series of
representations filed by the petitioner and her relatives expressing
shock."

About her claim that a CBI official had visited BSP's Parliament
Member Brijesh Pathak's house on or before July 22, 2008 seeking
support for UPA government at the Centre, the CBI denied it vehemently
saying it was an attempt to malign the reputation of the CBI.
