Mayawati gets reprieve in Taj corridor case

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed an application challenging the order of Uttar Pradesh Governor T V Rajeshwar refusing sanction for prosecution of state Chief Minister Mayawati in the Taj Corridor case.

A bench, comprising Justice S B Sinha, Justice S H Kapadia and Justice D K Jain, dismissed the application filed by amicus curiae Krishan Mahajan challenging the order of the Governor.
  
The amicus, in his application, had contended that the order of the Governor was violative of the orders of the Supreme Court which had orderd Ms Mayawati's prosecution in about Rs 175-crore scandal.
