On Maya statues, UP says sorry to SC
Express News Service Posted online: Wednesday, Nov 04, 2009 at 0424 hrs
New Delhi : The Uttar Pradesh government has tendered a "sincere and
unqualified apology" to the Supreme Court over violation of court
orders stopping construction work at memorial
sites across the state. The court is scheduled to hear petitions
challenging the Mayawati government's construction of memorials on
Wednesday.
Responding to a contempt notice issued against him, UP Chief Secretary
Atul Kumar Gupta submitted a 51-page affidavit last week, conceding
prime facie violation of court orders.
While initiating contempt action against the Chief Secretary on
October 6, the Supreme Court had pulled up the UP administration,
saying it seemed "desperate" to continue the ambitious projects,
pushed by the Chief Minister herself. Issuing Gupta a notice, the
bench said: "It appears you want to play hide and seek. If you want
confrontation, let's have a confrontation." It directed Gupta to
appear in court on November 4.
The case will come up on Wednesday before the bench of Justices H S
Bedi and J M Panchal. Reconstituted after Justice B N Agarwal retired
on October 15, the new bench does
not include Justice Aftab Alam who was part of the earlier bench.
