Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed the Economics Offences Wing (EOW) to file a chargesheet against former state chief minister Digvijay Singh and 11 others for flouting rules and allowing illegal construction of an Indore mall.
Justice Prakash Shrivastava and Justice Sanjay Seth of the court's Indore bench on Wednesday asked the EOW to present the chargesheet before the court by June 30 and submit the detailed compliance report by July 4.
The Treasure Island Mall, centrally located on Indore's Mahatma Gandhi Road, came up in the area marked for residential purposes only under the city's 1991 master plan. A special permission was given to allow the mall's construction on a 25,000 sq feet plot.
Petitioner Mahesh Garg had taken the complaint to the EOW three years back alleging that Digvijay's government changed rules and committed irregularities to approve the mall's construction. The EOW registered an FIR based on Garg's complaint and documents seized on February 12, 2009.
