The Supreme Court today sought response from Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, on two petitions filed by CBI against the High Court order granting protection from arrest and other relief to him and his wife in a disproportionate assets case.
A bench comprising justices F M I Kalifulla and U U Lalit issued notice to the state government and fixed the petitions of CBI for hearing on November 5. The agency had filed a transfer petition and a special leave petition in the apex court seeking transferring the case against Singh from Himachal Pradesh to Delhi, and setting aside of the order passed by the state high court, respectively.
