Taj case: Police cover granted to ex-counsel TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday ordered police cover for lawyer Ajay Aggarwal who said that he and his family members had received threats to their lives by the suspended principal secretary in the Uttar Pradesh government, R K Sharma. Aggarwal has been removed as state’s standing counsel. A Bench, comprising Justice M B Shah and A R Lakshmanan, directed the Delhi police commis- sioner and the director-general of the UP police to provide adequate security to Aggarwal and his fami- ly members. Aggarwal was appearing for the state in the Taj heritage corridor case and also defending BJP MP Anil Katiyar before the Liberhan commission. Aggarwal said that as he knew certain facts per- taining to the construction of the Taj corridor, Shar- ma had held out threats to his life if he divulged any details to the court. Though Sharma’s counsel R K Jain refuted the al- legations, Aggarwal said after he complained about this incident to the chief secretary in June, he was re- moved as the standing counsel for the state. State’s counsel Rakesh Dwivedi said the state gov- ernment has already suspended Sharma for his al- leged role in the corridor construction controversy. The Bench will hear on July 16 the entire matter and also the counter allegations made by Sharma.
