 "SC rejects petition against Shanti Bhushan")
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition seeking CBI probe against former Law Minister Shanti Bhushan for allegedly evading stamp duty by undervaluing purchase of a property in Allahabad worth Rs 20 crore for Rs one lakh. [caption id=“attachment_287643” align=“alignleft” width=“380” caption=“Reuters”]  [/caption] A bench headed by Justice A K Patnaik refused to entertain the petition filed by an advocate but allowed him to approach appropriate forum with his complaint. The petitioner, M L Sharma, urged the apex court to issue appropriate direction for CBI to initiate probe against Bhushan. The former law Minister had earlier denied the charge saying their family had been a tenant in the house for over 70 years and had on their own paid duty much higher than what was claimed from them by government.
