The apex court on Thursday (June 7) allowed rebel JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav to hold his official bungalow on the plea filed by JD(U) Rajya Sabha member Ram Chandra Prasad Singh seeking ouster of Sharad Yadav from his official bungalow and the stay on the remuneration which Yadav is getting as Rajya Sabha member.

During the course of proceedings, Yadav told the bench of Justices Adarsh Kumar Goel and Ashok Bhushan that he will not take any kind of remuneration.

The bench also directed the Delhi High Court to decide on the appeal by Yadav challenging his Rajya Sabha membership disqualification on July 12.

The petition has challenged the order of the Delhi High Court, in which it had allowed Yadav to remain in the government bungalow till the decision was taken on his disqualification.
