Indore: Indore Bench of MP High Court had directed the Court of Fifth Additional Sessions Court to prosecute former corporator Iftekar alias Munna Ansari for fraud. It may be recalled that Munna Ansari and Ansaf Ansari had contested from old Ward No 12 from Ranipura in 2009 and Munna lost the election.
Munna then filed a case in lower courts challenging Ansaf’s win. He then submitted forged documents on behalf of Ansaf at Harsiddhi Zone to convert a 357 sq ft plot into 600 sq feet to disqualify him. However, Ansaf got wind of the plan and filed a complaint with Pandarinath Police Station. When police took no action, he filed a case in lower courts which directed the police to file the complaint.
The litigation moved to the Indore Bench of MP High Court where Justice Alok Verma rejected Munna’s contention and ordered that he be tried for fraud.
