Apex court stays anti-graft hearings against Chautalas

NEW DELHI - The Supreme Court Friday ordered an interim stay on the trial against Abhay Chautala and Ajay Chautala who have been charged with possessing assets disproportionate to their known sources of income.

The court also issued a notice to the prosecution asking why the anti-graft proceedings should not be stopped altogether.

Both Abhay and Ajay are sons of former Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala. At present, Abhay is member of Haryana assembly.
