Amitabh Bachchan land case posted to Sep 7

Lucknow, Aug 16 (UNI) Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court today posted the next hearing in the Amitabh Bachchan agricultural land case to September 7.

The Bollywood megastar had challenged the Faizabad Division Additional Commissioner (Administration) Vidhya Sagar Prasad's order quashing the allotment of agricultural land at Daulatpur village in Barabanki district to him.

The hearing was deferred on an application filed by the counsel representing the actor.

On March 24, 2006, the then Barabanki District Magistrate Ashish Goel had ordered sealing of land records pertaining to the allotment of land to Bachchan.

Later, the Additional Commissioner's court had also affirmed this step, which was challenged by Bachchan in the HC.

Today, the actor was supposed to file a rejoinder in the case, but his counsel pleaded for more time saying the former was abroad at the moment.

Accepting the plea, Justice S N Srivastava fixed September 7 for next hearing.
