In an old 1986 case, SP MLA Sudhakar Singh has been declared a fugitive by the Mau court. The case is related to obstruction of government work and a demonstration. The next hearing in the court is scheduled for July 10.
UP News: The MP-MLA court of Mau district has declared Samajwadi Party MLA Sudhakar Singh a fugitive. Sudhakar Singh is an MLA from the Ghosi assembly constituency and has been consistently active in politics. This case dates back to 1986, when he participated in a demonstration as a student leader. A case was registered against him under various sections due to the uproar at the power substation during the demonstration.
Demonstration held in protest against power cuts
In 1986, students and citizens demonstrated at the 400 kV power substation in Dohrighat to protest power cuts. The demonstration involved accusations of obstructing government work, vandalism, and misbehavior with officials. The police registered a case against Sudhakar Singh in this incident. At that time, this area came under Azamgarh district. Later, when Mau was declared a separate district, the case file was transferred to the Mau court.
MLA had already been granted bail
Sudhakar Singh had already been granted bail in this case. According to advocate Virendra Bahadur Pal, Sudhakar Singh has been appearing in court in this case. In 1989, the case came to the Mau court, and the hearing has been ongoing since then.
Court declared him fugitive in 2023
The court unilaterally declared Sudhakar Singh a fugitive on July 25, 2023. The advocate stated that no summons or warrant was served to the accused. Despite this, the CGM court assumed that there was no possibility of his presence and declared him a fugitive.
Revision petition filed in 2024
On June 4, 2024, MLA Sudhakar Singh filed a revision petition before the District Judge. Subsequently, the case file was transferred to the MP-MLA court.
The MLA's lawyer says that Sudhakar Singh is neither a fugitive nor has he disobeyed the court. He has been regularly appearing in court. He has also requested to present his case in court. The next hearing in this matter is currently scheduled for July 10.
