More drama in Bihar.
SC agrees to hear plea to cancel Nitish's Legislative Council membership


Reported by: PTI, New Delhi [Published on:01 Aug 2017, 1:59 PM IST] Comment

The Supreme Court today agreed to hear a plea seeking cancellation of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's membership of the state Legislative Council for allegedly concealing a pending criminal case against him.

A bench of Justices Justice Dipak Misra, Amitava Roy and A M Khanwilkar said it will look into the matter after petitioner advocate M L Sharma sought an urgent hearing of his plea.

The bench said it would see when the matter could be listed for hearing.

The plea, which was filed yesterday, alleged that there was a criminal case against the JD(U) leader wherein he was accused of killing a local Congress leader Sitaram Singh, and injuring four others ahead of Lok Sabha by-election to the Barh constituency in 1991.

The petitioner has also sought a direction to the CBI to register an FIR against Kumar in the case.

"Respondent number 2 (Election Commission), despite knowing facts about his (Kumar's) criminal case, did not cancel his membership of the house and respondent (Kumar) still enjoys constitutional office till date," he said.


The lawyer has sought cancellation of Kumar's membership as per the Election Commission's 2002 order stating it is mandatory for candidates to disclose criminal cases against them in their affidavits annexed to nomination papers.

He claimed the Bihar chief minister did not disclose the criminal case that was pending against him in affidavits since 2004, except for 2012.

Which bank will be wisest choice to open savings account considering the interest and facilities provided (free transactions, online banking etc ).
I would like to say that I am not recommending something but I have come to know through 3rd persons that RBL Bank is doing good with Online Banking , Transactions , Minimum Balance Conditions etc.,

I myself do not have account with RBL bank so not first hand information.
But please do a thorough research before taking any step.
