A case in connection with the phone tapping matter filed by Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat was listed for hearing in the Delhi High Court on Friday.
However, the lawyer representing the complainant stated that nothing much is left in this case as interviews of Lokesh Sharma published in the newspapers had cleared that phone tapping was conducted under his knowledge.
The bench comprising Justice Vikas Mahajan responding to it stated that the court cannot take cognizance on media reports. The court finally gave December 19 as the next date for the hearing. Till then stay on Lokesh Sharma’s arrest will continue.
In March 2021, the Delhi police had registered an FIR against Sharma on charges of criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust and unlawfully intercepting telegraphic signals (telephonic conversation) on a complaint by Shekhawat. tnn

Even son knew Ashok Gehlot would lose: Former CM OSD Lokesh Sharma
Lokesh Sharma, the officer on special duty (OSD) of Ashok Gehlot, has made new claims about the Congress government in Rajasthan. Sharma alleges that Sachin Pilot’s movements were monitored and his phone was tapped on the instructions of Gehlot. These revelations could worsen Sharma’s legal situation, as he is already facing charges related to phone tapping. In the recent assembly polls, the BJP defeated the Congress and is now poised to form the government in Rajasthan.
‘Pilot’s movements, phone were tracked’, claims Ashok Gehlot’s OSD
Outgoing Rajasthan CM Gehlot’s OSD alleges Gehlot tracked and monitored Sachin Pilot’s movements before and during the 2020 rebellion. Gehlot loyalists prevented the legislature party meeting and hindered the implementation of Congress observers’ agenda. Congress leadership wanted to bring in Pilot as CM, causing animosity between Gehlot and Pilot. Proper ticket distribution could have ensured a different outcome in the Rajasthan assembly polls. Corrective measures are needed before the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
Gyanvapi case: Court to hear plea against Akhilesh Yadav, Asaduddin Owaisi’s remarks on Dec 7
The Varanasi court has scheduled the next hearing for December 7 in the case related to a petition seeking an FIR against Akhilesh Yadav and Asaduddin Owaisi. The petition, filed by Harishankar Pandey, demands a case be filed under Section-156(3) of CrPC against the two politicians and the Gyanvapi mosque management committee for their objectionable remarks on a purported shivling found in the mosque complex. The ACJM-V court had declared the petition maintainable in November 2022, but rejected it in February this year. Pandey then filed a revision petition in March, which was transferred to the court of additional district judge.
