The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Thursday heard a petition seeking quashing of the FIR lodged in the Jiamau area of Lucknow, on the basis of misappropriated property and misleading documents and stayed the arrest of Mukhtar Ansari. The matter is adjourned till February 17.
The order was passed by a division bench of Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Rajiv Singh on the petition of Mukhtar Ansari.
Senior Advocate H.J.S. Parihar requested the Court that for some unavoidable reasons he is unable to argue, so the petition should be listed for hearing on February 17 along with another petition filed on behalf of Mukhtar Ansari’s sons.
The Advocate General had no objection to this, due to which the Court adjourned the hearing. The petition filed by Ansari’s sons, Abbas Ansari and Umar Ansari, is also to be heard on February 17. The arrest of both was stayed by the Court on October 21, 2020.
