A Supreme Court lawyer on Wednesday moved a city court to book former prime minister Manmohan Singh, former vice-president Hamid Ansari and others under Section 120-B, 121-A and 124(A) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for alleged sedition for a conspiracy hatched with Pakistan on December 6 “to destablise the present government and effect the Gujarat poll.”

The case is listed for hearing on January 4 on the opening day of the courts after the vacation.

Advocate Ajay Agrawal, who lives in the same Jungpura Extension colony of south Delhi in which the alleged conspiracy meeting was held at the residence of former MP Mani Shankar Aiyar, filed the case before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at the Saket Courts after the Nizamuddin Police Station refused to register his FIR (first information report) against persons who attended the unauthoried and illegal Indo-Pak meeting.

The matter is fixed for hearing on January 4 at 2 PM in the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate Ms Manika in Room No.512 of the Saket Courts, New Delhi.
