A Madhya Pradesh HC judge hearing a writ petition on illegal mining in the state has withdrawn from the case, stating that a ruling BJP MLA, Sanjay Pathak attempted to contact him over the matter.
The petition was filed by Ashutosh Dixit (a resident of Mundwara-Katni) in the HC, claiming that he had complained to the state's Economic Offence Wing (EOW) about rampant illegal mining in Sihora and Gosalpur areas of Jabalpur district, besides Katni district. The petitioner had stated that the petition had to be filed in the HC, as no action was being taken by the EOW on the complaint.
