Jaipur, May 31: The Rajasthan High Court has issued
notices to the state government and a senior minister on a
public interest litigation alleging illegal mining by the
minister's son.
Yesterday, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Anil Dev Singh
and Justice K S Rathore issued notices to the state
government, Minister for Woman and Child Development Madhav
Singh Diwan and his son Kishen Singh, on a petition filed by
Paashan Utpadak Sahkari Samiti – a co-operative body of miners.
The petition alleged that the minister's son and his
associates indulged in illegal mining and terrorised those
opposing them.
It also alleged that the police was taking no action against them.
The petitioner had registered a case against the
minister's son and his associates in Bharatpur district for
forcible illegal mining and terrorising people in September
last year. A similar case was registered with the police against
Shiv Singh, brother of a local MLA of Roopbas, Nirbhay Lal
Jatav, and his friends earlier and no action was taken then.
