(Adding name of judge in para two)

New Delhi, Nov 27 (UNI) The Supreme Court today cleared the decks for the trial of former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati in the Rs 175 crore Taj Corridor case.

The apex court made it clear that the report of the Attorney General of India Milon K Banerjee giving a clean chit to Ms Mayawati and the report of Chief Vigilance Commissioner shall not be forwarded to the special court.
