Justice Rajiv Gupta of the Allahabad High Court on Wednesday recused himself from hearing a petition filed by former MLA Mukhtar Ansari seeking to quash a chargesheet filed against him by the Uttar Pradesh police in connection with a case of misappropriation of MLA Funds fund in the year 2012-13. Put up before another Bench after seeking nomination from Hon'ble The Chief Justice/ Senior Judge, if possible on 02.05.2022 as fresh, showing the name of Shri Ratnendu Kumar Singh as counsel for the State," the Bench remarked today when the case came before it for hearing. In the present case, in fact there is no evidence of conspiracy by the applicant but he has been implicated in the present case only due to political vendetta as after about 8 years, the enquiry report was prepared by the Police Officers and subsequently the applicant has been charge sheeted in the present matter. Advocate Upendra Upadhyay appeared for Mukhtar Ansari and G.A.Ratnendu Kumar Singh appeared for the state.
