The state government has clarified it has not misled the Supreme Court in the case relating to the Ambedkar Samajik Parivartan Sthal, which is pending in the apex court.

In a fresh affidavit, Mithilesh Kumar Singh, one of the petitioners on whose petition the construction work of parks and memorials was stayed by the Supreme Court on September 8, had said the Mayawati government misled and confused the apex court and filed a false affidavit denying further construction activity on the memorials.

The petitioner said the UP government, in its affidavit on September 17 filed before the apex court, coined new names for some structures to claim they were not subject to the writ petition pending in the Allahabad High Court.

The apex court on September 8 had stayed construction work on memorials and parks under construction here at Lucknow. The UP government had then given an undertaking to the Supreme Court that no further construction would be made over the properties which are subject matter of the writ petition pending before the Allahabad high court.

“No misleading fact or false information has been mentioned in the affidavit filed by the state government before the Supreme Court,” the government said in a statement today. “Petitioner Mithilesh Kumar Singh is not aware of the facts and is unable to differentiate between the properties which are not subject to the writ petition filed before the Allahabad High Court.”

The government said the land of Ambedkar stadium is not the subject matter of any writ petition filed before the Allahabad High Court.
