No government accommodation for former chief ministers: Supreme Court

NEW DELHI: In a setback for former chief ministers, the Supreme Court has ruled that they are not entitled to any government accommodation.

"Any such possession of government accommodation should be vacated within two months," the SC said in an order on Monday.

The apex court also directed six former chief ministers of Uttar Pradesh to vacate government houses allotted to them.


Six former chief ministers —ND Tiwari, Kalyan Singh, Mayawati, Mulayam Singh, Rajnath Singh and Ram Naresh Yadav- have been given government accommodation in UP.
