Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren is learnt to have been given more time by the Election Commission to appear before in a case related to a mining lease.
Mr. Soren was asked to appear before the EC either in person or through his counsel on May 31. But he sought more time and is now learnt to have been asked to appear on June 14, sources aware of the development said.
His MLA brother Basant Soren is likely to appear before the poll panel on May 29 in another case - related to allegedly co-owning a mining firm.
