The special CBI court Monday directed the agency to file its reply on Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh’s plea seeking a copy of the FIR against him in connection with the alleged disproportionate assets case.

Singh had moved the special CBI court, urging it to allow him to inspect the judicial records of the case, to make a case before the Supreme Court.

The CBI had registered a Preliminary Enquiry (PE), which was recently converted into a regular case, against Singh and his family members for allegedly amassing wealth of Rs 6.1 crore, alleging it was disproportionate to their known sources of income during 2009-11 when he was serving as the Union minister of steel in the UPA government.
