CHANDIGARH: Former food and civil supplies minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu of the Congress failed to get any relief from the Punjab and Haryana high court on Tuesday as the court did not issue any notice on his petition to the Punjab government and adjourned the case for next hearing to July 6.
Facing allegations of nearly Rs 2,000 crore scam in tenders during his tenure as minister, Ashu had approached the high court earlier this month seeking directions to the state police to serve him at least seven days prior notice in case he is required to be arrested in the case.
