DA case: Court seeks CBI reply on Ajay Chautala's transfer plea

New Delhi: A Delhi court has sought CBI's response on a plea by INLD leader Ajay Chautala, who is serving 10-year jail term in a teachers' recruitment scam case, for transfer of a disproportionate assets (DA) case against him to another court.

District Judge Ravinder Kaur issued notice to the CBI on the plea and listed it for filing of reply and hearing arguments on March 3. While hearing a similar transfer application by co-accused Abhimanyu Singh, the court summoned SL Goyal, a CBI witness in the DA case, on a claim that he was a relative of the presiding officer hearing the matter. — PTI
