Lucknow, October 11: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court Thursday asked the central government to reply why allegations against Robert Vadra made by Arvind Kejriwal should not be investigated.
The court, which was hearing public interest litigation (PIL) by activist Nutan Thakur, fixed Nov 21 as the next date for hearing. The PIL sought a thorough probe into the charges levelled by Kejriwal and his colleagues. In her petition, Thakur told the court that she had also sent a letter to principal secretary in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) but was sure that it would not be responded to.
The PIL also says that despite denials by both the parties, some basic questions on how Vadra's wealth grew from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 300 crore in three years remains yet to be unanswered.
On Monday, Finance Minister P Chidambaram said the government can't act on the allegations on private deals entered into between Robert Vadra and DLF unless there is specific charge of corruption, which is established.
"We cannot probe private deals without specific allegations or quid pro quo," Chidambaram said while replying to questions at the annual Economic Editors' Conference.
