The Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed Congress leader K.K. Mishra, the complainant in a case of an alleged pension scam at Indore Municipal Corporation, to file a fresh application for getting the prosecution sanction against then mayor Kailash Vijayvargiya and others.
A High Court bench of Justice Subodh Abhyankar, in its order passed on September 23, also directed the State chief secretary to pass a “reasoned and speaking order” in the matter within three months.
A special court here had last month closed the 2005 case of alleged pension scam at the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) as the M.P. government did not give sanction to prosecute BJP general secretary Vijayvargiya and others for 17 years.
