SP govt gets 2 weeks to respond to PIL

The Allahabad High Court Tuesday granted the Uttar Pradesh government two weeks time to submit its response on a PIL seeking direction for a CBI inquiry into all major riots,which took place in the state after Samajwadi Party came to power.

The Lucknow Bench passed the order after Additional Advocate General Bulbul Godiyal,appearing on behalf of the Uttar Pradesh government,sought two weeks time to seek instructions and file response. On September 11,local social activist Nutan Thakur had filed the PIL seeking direction for a CBI inquiry into all the major riots which took place after the formation of SP government in UP on March 15 last year.

In the PIL,it has been alleged that the action and policy of the current government had been such that it showed a tilt towards a particular sect.
