Court seeks evidence on allegations against Hazare

A Delhi court has asked a complainant from Haryana to produce evidence on allegations that Anna Hazare and his team had instigated people against the government during their protest at Ramlila Maidan.

Dismissing Satbir Singh’s plea seeking a direction to the Delhi Police, asking them to register a criminal case against Hazare and his team, Metropolitan Magistrate Tyagita Singh told him to produce evidence supporting his allegations.

“This court is of the opinion that no direct offence by accused persons is made out at this stage.The complainant is granted the opportunity to lead his evidence, and the complaint is treated as a case under Section 200 CrPC,” the court said.
