Contempt plea by Ajay Chautala

Chandigarh, May 22 (UNI) The Punjab and Haryana High Court today directed that the petition preferred by Ajay Singh Chautala seeking directions for initiating proceedings under the contempt of court against certain officers of the Haryana government, be heard along with the main petition on July 16.

The petitioner alleged that he had sent a cheque of Rs one crore to the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) in connection with the land purchased by him for setting up a shopping mall at aridabad.

However, the HUDA authorities have declined to accept the same which amounted to defying the directions of the court. Mr Ajay Chautala had earlier moved the court against the action of HUDA authorities in canceling the allotment of the shopping mall plot, for the petitioner's failure to pay outstanding dues. As this matter is due to be heard on July 16, the court directed the contempt plea also to be heard with the main petition.
