Lucknow, Nov 20: The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court will hear the CBI`s
petition challenging a lower court order allowing jailed former BSP minister Amarmani Tripathi, an accused in the Madhumita murder case, to attend the ongoing Uttar Pradesh
Assembly session.
The single judge bench of Justice Y R Tripathi passed the order after counsels for the former minister filed their counter affidavits in the matter.
In its petition, filed under various sections of criminal penal code, the CBI has sought an immediate stay on the lower court order and its subsequent quashing.
Tripathi was arrested by CBI on September 21 and has been in judicial custody.
The agency had objected to the order saying Tripathi might try to influence the witnesses in the case.
