In a major relief to former principal secretary Aman Singh, the Chhattisgarh High Court on Monday ordered the state government to reinstate his seized salary account with immediate effect.
“Justice Prashant Mishra while hearing the case ruled that the seizure of salary account of Singh by the SIT seems to be inappropriate”, Advocate Abhishek Sinha appearing on behalf of Aman Singh, told The Pioneer.
The retired IRS officer, who was one of the most influential bureaucrats of Chhattisgarh in the previous BJP government, had approached the Bilaspur High Court after the Congress government set up the SIT to probe into allegations of Singh’s amassing disproportionate properties.
