New Delhi:
A Delhi Court on Tuesday issued summons to Indian National Lok Dal MLA Ajay Chautala and his brother Abhay Chautala, a former party legislator, for appearance in a disproportionate assets case registered by CBI.
Special Judge P S Teji sought presence of Chautala brothers before the court on February 15.
The CBI had on December 24 filed a chargesheet against the two sons of former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala in a disproportionate assets case.
The chargesheet was filed against Chautala brothers for allegedly having assets more than their known sources of income.
According to the chargesheet against Ajay, CBI claimed he was in possession of assets to the tune of Rs 27.74 crore -- 339 per cent more than his income Rs 8.17 crore during the period of 1993 to 2006.
The second chargesheet was filed against Abhay alleging his assets were 522 per cent more than his income of Rs 22.89 crore as per Income Tax records during the check period of 2000 to 2005. The agency claimed to have found Rs 119.69 crore worth of assets.
CBI had registered a case in a designated court here in April 2006 and searched 24 premises of the Chautalas in Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Chandigarh during which it had seized cash of Rs 13 lakh and froze five bank accounts containing Rs 1.34 crore belonging to Chautala and his family members.
The investigating agency's FIR listed the moveable and immoveable properties belonging to either Chautala or his family members that had been acquired between July 1999 and March 2005 when they were public servants.
The FIR alleged Chautala and his family members had plots at prime locations in Gurgaon in Haryana, Karol Bagh in Delhi, Manali in Himachal Pradesh, Nainital in Uttarakhand and Chandigarh besides a hotel and a restaurant in upmarket Karol Bagh, a shopping mall, six plots of agricultural land, six farm houses and cash and jewellery worth Rs 50 crore.
CBI had conducted a market survey and claimed in its FIR filed in April that the total value of all the properties was Rs 1,467 crore.
CBI had claimed the assets disproportionate to Chautala's known sources of income were "phenomenal" and would require an extensive and in-depth investigation.
