Rahul Gandhi's Amethi No Longer a District
- 5 years ago
India News: The Allahabad High Court today quashed a notification issued by the then Mayawati government for creating new district Chatrapati Sahuji Maharaj Nagar, presently known as Amethi.
The order was passed by the bench of Chief Justice Shiv Kirti Singh and Justice Devendra Kumar Arora on a pending writ petition filed by Brij Kishore Verma along with the other petitioners.
Earlier in the year 2010, Mayawati government had created the new district by carving out Amethi, Gauriganj and Jagdishpur tehsils from Sultanpur district and Salon and Tiloi tehsils from Rae Bareli district and a notification in this regard was issued on July 1, 2010.
Verma and others moved petitions in the High Court challenging the notification.
